Yes. "194" refers to the general shape and size of the "bulb", mainly the wedge base. You can get 194 style LED replacements in various configurations, such as these pictured below. Not all will physically fit in your instrument cluster locations. Also, LED's use less current than incandescent bulbs, so they may cause some circuits to act strange. I used 5 SMD LED's (like the top picture) in the cluster in my '93 and took a couple of them back out because they stayed on all the time. I'll check my thread later to see which ones. Also, LED's have a polarity. they only allow current flow in one direction. So, They must be installed in the right direction.theres more than one type of 194 LED?
It only happened once. It may have been bleed-through at the switch, I don't know.adsm, when the lights stay on, what did you do remedy the problem? Or did you?
Dude, we 1st gen guys have it easy for dash lights. I can reach up there and switch out bulbs all the way up to the turn signal and high-beam indicators without taking anything apart.I went back and fourth, just got a 10 pack of 194 bulbs for $4. I have never had one go bad but while I have the cluster out I thought I would put new bulbs in it.
It is even easier when the cluster sitting on my kitchen counter after I painted the needles and updated the gauge faces.Dude, we 1st gen guys have it easy for dash lights.
