hey guys i put blue led 194's in my dash, the pointers and my a/c controls. they look pretty good but are kinda dark. the a/c controls show very dark but the turns look sweet. if i remember there was 16 bulbs total. I think i SPENT LIKE $12 ON BULBS. TYPE IN BLUE LED 194S ON EBAY. I found a sale that had 10 bulbs for like $8 but it took sometime cuz it shipped out of hong kong

I'll keep my eyes open and check out the link you posted, 95. I was already planning on getting the silvania silverstars for my truck and the lady's grand prix. Thanks for the help.

superbrightleds.com has replacement led's for like 2.49 a piece. They have wide angle 220 degree bulbs that have 5 led's per bulb that way it lights the cluster evenly and bright! They replace the 194's 161's etc.....pretty much any 3 digit code light. You can still use the dimmer with these.
