Default bulb #s?

anyone know the bulb numbers for the lights behind the Speedometer Cluster, Heater/AC Controls, Headlight Controls, Shifter Plate, Rear View Mirror Map Lights, Glove COmpartment (if there is one in there), and Rear Dome Light? car is a 94 Camaro. i was told that 194s are behind the Speedo Cluster but then someone else said something different. wanna make sure i got all the right bulbs before i rip out the dash and stuff. any help appreciated!

Instrument panel: 161
HVAC controls: 37
Glovebox: 194
PRNDL: 73
Map lights: 212-2
Dome light: 906
Door illumination: 74

The 161 and 194 are physically identical bulbs but the 194 is twice as bright. I wouldn't go with the brighter bulb unless you 1) replace all of them, and 2) need more brightness because of changing color or something.

The Firebird uses a different bulb for warning lights in the dash than the Camaro. Camaros use the same 161 as the rest of the dash but Firebirds use a PC74 which is a small wedge bulb with the socket built-in.

No, sorry. The manual lists bulb types but not quantities. I know there's only one each for the PRNDL and the glovebox. The headlight switch illumination is not a replaceable bulb - it's internal to the switch. I think there are two bulbs for the HVAC but I'm not positive.
