The cheapo LEDs typically have a resistor to 'regulate' current; of the 12 Volt in the cluster 3 goes into powering the LED and 9 into heating up the resistor... which almost defeats the purpose of having LEDs.
IDK how the SuperbrightLEDs are regulated. They may be the same. You gotta investigate; if you have one cut it open and take a look... or find someone who did that. Internet is a thing.
