Default Gauge Cluster LED Swap

Does anybody know what type of bulbs i would need to change the gauge cluster out? I want to change it to blue leds. I did this in my supra when i had it and it was only like 5x 194 type bulbs. Does anybody have a picture of the back of the gauge cluster after its been pulled out, or know what type of bulbs go in the back of it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Shane

This is looking at it from the front view. You will be looking at it from the back and you don't have to take everything apart. You'll see a black plastic shield and those bulbs actually sit in these sockets that twist out. Piece of cake!




Assuming you have a 98-02 Camaro.

There's 5 194 bulbs you will replace.

Disregard the 2 by the arch at the 10 and 2 o'clock position, those are your blinkers and the actual gauges have a green film over them anyways. You can replace those with green 194 LEDs.

Also disregard the highest one on the top left. That's your high beam indicator and the guages have a blue film over that already.
