Default What number LED's and how many?

I want to replace the lights in the instrument cluster, HVAC, park reverse neutral drive shifter, and the 4wd shifter. Can someone tell me which size/number LED's I need to get and how many each spot takes?

There are 15 in your instrument cluster, one in the HVAC, and one in each shifter so you need a total of 18. I'm not sure about the HVAC but the other 17 are all Type 194s.

The gauge cluster uses 9 led 194 bulbs on a '90 model with gauges and not idiot lights. The dash switches use I believe t5 bulbs and the climate control as well, the shifters use 194. Also the glove box uses 194.

I spent a little extra and got ones from the USA plus the shipping is quicker. However I don't see a problem with trying the ones from overseas since they can be so cheap may be worth a shot.

Not a bad idea at all. Wayyyy cheap and work well. They just take 2-3 weeks to get here so if you're not in any hurry, that's what I'd suggest

For what it's worth, I had no luck swapping out the turn signal indicators in the dash cluster for LEDs. Apparently the factory flasher module requires a certain power draw to tick, and I wasn't getting it from the LEDs. I ended up leaving those two with the factory incandescent bulbs. I believe you can get a low-draw (or LED) flasher module to remedy the problem (alternatively).
