Default LED gauges???

hey hows it goin... i was just going to ask about LED's and gauges... does anyone by chance have the guide to go by... or by chance know what bulbs to order for what area?
i am going to get new silver gauges and a new HUmount, as well as silver overlays for the HVAC and headlight **** area... im thinkin all blue LED's just cuz its different and even if most people on here are doing that color, most people on the road have never seen it and IMO the blue looks the best.... but i am wanting to replace the bulbs in the following:
gauges
HVAC/headlight **** led's
auto tranny indicator led
transmission perform... both lights for that
and thats all i can think of that would need to be changed over from red, but if you have anything else that you notice now you wish you would have changed or think will stick out if it isnt changed then if you wouldnt mind to help then id appreciate it
thanks

and i did search this, but all of the people that got help had pms sent to them of help, and i was hoping i can get the same
thanks

This site came in handy. The dash uses 194 size bulbs. The HVAC, doors and auto area use a 74 size bulb.

another question.. while looking at my lights and seeing what all i want to change... is there any way to change the color of the steering wheel controls? even though my controls dont work to my cd player, they still glow red, so it would be cool to have them blue as well

Anyone know what size, how many and where to get LED's for the gauges in a 97 Formula? Is there a site sponsor that has them?
