Well, i just diffused the green meter lights in my Saturn because there was a bright spot in the center of the meters and the light wasn't spreading uniform across the meter.

180 grit sandpaper.

Sand down the tip of your LED bulb.

Wipe off the shavings from sanding.

Put bulb back in.

World of difference. No more center focused light, the light now spreads uniform across the meter and looks more natural.
