    The original bulb in my instrument panel has gone out. I’m thinking about converting the bulbs to LED. It calls for an amber 194 LED. Which one should I get?

    I put white 194s (cluster lights) and 74s (misc lights like check engine etc). Looks amazing.

    Yup! Works exactly as expected. The AC panel (at least on my '99) are x2 74s as well. Same with the light under the gear shift.

    Looking at the website there are five different 194 led bulbs. I don’t know which one to get.

    Those look fine. You'll want a ton of them I can't remember how many I ordered but something like 12. Had a dud too so nice to have extras. Same with the 194s I ordered like 6 just in case.

    Hey bud. I would get the ones from Superbrightleds. My 03 I used Red from superbright and my 02 I use green bought on Amazon. I’ve had to change out the bulbs 3 times so far. I replaced them with a different brands each time from Amazon and none last more than like 6-7 months.im switching back to SBLed.
