Easy to hook up? Thanks for the explanation.

Trying to find bulbs to go into my gauge cluster. Using superbrightleds.com. put in my vehicle specs and it tells me to use "74s" aren't the bulbs 194? I'm just confused.

I believe they're smaller than a 194.

The one's I've pulled out were smaller.

Pull the bulbs out and look at them. It only takes a second.

For gauges I'd go as wide as possible.

120*
