I'm running amber LEDs in my cluster. There's no hotspots. I am running the different bulbs then the ones listed in the OP. I used these bulbs instead with the 360 degree beam pattern.

Edit: Here are some pictures. The lens is pretty scratched up so just ignore that. They are DEFINITELY more orange than that.

It's custom so I used the 5x SMD leds, and a bunch of 5mm white leds in the cold spots, then finally used paper/plastic filters to make the lighting really even. It's not easy and you really need to have some experience doing this stuff. Refer to my Center Console LED DIY and you'll what I'm talking about

And here's a Youtube video to show you how even my gauges turned out

Spend some time reading the LED threads, there are a few ways to go about doing this. So figure that out first.
