Dont do it. Youll get hotspots and will look gay.

i did to my old b4 dash, as long as you use wide angle lens leds then u dont get any hotspots.
I'll see if i can find where I got my led bulbs from, they were plug in replacements for the original bulbs and looked great.

Autolumination.com
I got all mine from there. Big range of interior globes and it got here within two weeks. The website is a bit of a mind fork to work out but

As chris said!
And Sam, No hot spots with the ones that chris pictured, multiple faced smds spread the light evenly

Precisely.
I bought 4 x T10 LEDs in red from autobarn today and replaced them.
Made sure they were the SMD LEDs and they're perfect!
