True story! Some of those circuits it works to mount 1 LED and the mount the next LED in the opposite direction and so no. LEDs being polarity sensitive, basically if and LED does not illuminate the 1st time just turn it the opposite direction or 180 degrees. The 3mm LED cubes should work good...

Get better LEDs. Those LEDs are likely best in a very small enclosure and do not spread the light evenly. http://www.ebay.com/itm/274575243871?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Someone may have programmed it already. Usually when I program an 06 the value at 59 is 03 and I change it to 00. Never had any issues with an 06 model.
Many options on eBay from these guys as far as gauge faces: https://www.ebay.com/str/gmgaugerepair/Gauge-Faces/_i.html?_storecat=8454042017
