Thanks m8, took a couple of trys to get it right but once i modified the led's and cluster it looks pretty even imo, much better than the stock yellow/amber that mine had.
u get wt u paid for
mine cost $60 just for the cluster alone
just saying...

not exactly sure what your saying, you have a hot spot around 220 km/h and some of your numbers look dull compared to others ie 20 km/h and 40km/h are quite illuminated but then it trails off in brightness till 80 km/h , 160 km/h is quite dull compared the numbers near it ect. Just buying expensive led's doesn't guarantee you even light, you need to buy the right ones for your application and sometimes you have to modify the leds or cluster to get a better result.
iirc it was the little tab near the far left light which was near 1k rpm area and i think i took out both the tabs from next to the light in between the rpm and speedo, i think this was also the bulb holder that was a t10 bulb which i modified to a t5 for more even light dispersion by bending the contacts together so it would hold a smaller bulb.
To break out the tabs just grab by the base firmly and snap it off, if you break them out in 1 piece you can glue them back in if it doesnt help.
