Sorry crappy photo from blackberry but this is mine.. No hot spots, I also used 360 degree bulbs from Superbrightled.com Awesome light up.. I also used fingernail polish remover and got all the yellow off my needles so they are white in the day and matching blue at night...

Some times you get DOA on ebay bulbs.. but check the bulbs make sure they make contact.. sometimes the cheap bulbs wont make a strong connection to the board. so they wont get power... Also check your Dimmer knob.. I suggest getting a black towel if you do it during the day, that way you can put it over the dash and your head to check bulbs when working..

how are you wanting this.. like a blur between blue and white?

you can get the White LEDs for the back side, and the two top LEDS that are pointing onto the front of the cluster could be blue.. that way you have a Blue Haze pointing at the white Gauges... other than that idk

you could try half blue and half white. alternating between bulbs.. (blue blub, white, blue, white)
