194a for the cluster, dome light is a festoon, and map lights should be 194a as well

Re: help with gage cluster bulbs change them to leds

a flip out SHOULD clear, but the shear length of the radio may be too long for the actual radio hole

these are the 194's I got for my trucks dash and it turned out great, I used superbrights in the past but there bulbs burnt out very quickly (within 5 months).I've had my V-leds installed for almost a year now. I'm planning on getting some red led's for my trans am's dash.

Re: help with gage cluster bulbs change them to leds

Dome light
211-2

so per the superbright cross reference guide it looks like 211= 4410 (44mmx10)
I'm just going by what their site says so this may or may not be correct.

Re: help with gage cluster bulbs change them to leds

The best one for the dome lense is the first two in the 211 link.Dont even bother with the smaller ones.You want at least 30+ LEDs to illuminate the int.
