What are the bulbs I need? One is out between the tach and the voltmeter. Looking online Osram lists four different bulbs as "instrument panel light bulbs." Are they the PC194s and can I just use a 194 (do they come out of their holders)?

Sorry for dumb questions but I honestly don't remember and I'm trying to put together a shopping list so I can replace all the burned out bulbs at once. These aren't listed in the owner's manual, either unlike all the other ones that I need.

I'd prefer to be able to keep dimming ability, I guess I will just buy the ones I know for sure plus a couple 194s and if that's wrong I'll have to go back in.

I thought about that also.

But, after getting the LEDs, I felt no need to dim.

When I did the led conversion on my cavalier, I had full intensity control.

I found that a little fitzing around with the PC194 bulb holders and creative bending of the tabs let me reuse the bulb holders with new standard 194 bulbs. You could always try that and leave the actual PC194 in the package to return if successful.

so the 194s are the actual gauge backlights? Cool, that's what I wanted to know

Also, if your retrofits dimmed, which ones did you use? Looking for a stock green/orange look.

Thanks for the link, badly in need of replacing my "yellow" interior lights, this is just what I needed!
And for $5 ordered the license plate LED also.

My experience;
Had several dash lights out, tried to find OEM but couldn't. Even if you get the originals the old ones have a green rubber coating like material that you ruin trying to take it off. Went with LEDs that lasted a couple weeks before one stopped working. Then another one stopped working and the first one that went out started working again. Been awhile now and the second one that stopped working is still out. Can't dim em but they are bright and look good.
