You would get ones that would be suitable for replacing the #194 lightbulb and make sure that they will fit in the openings in the dash and you would put them in the original places the old ones went.

The same thing, #194 bulbs are replacements for the other bulbs in the dash cluster.

Make sure you purchase LEDs with a very wide viewing angle and preferrably not point source water clear type... (Trust me, I've tried it...)

Most auto parts stores carry them, it would just depend on exactly what type you want and what you're willing to pay.

www.digikey.com has some 194 replacements in various colors, etc. They are usually out of stock though...
