91 Camaro RS instrument gauge lights?
What size bulbs are needed for this car, and how many are needed? Looking to do an LED conversion, but searching has not turned up definitive answers. Ive heard 194's, 74's, needing only 4 bulbs, needing 11 bulbs, nothing solid. Thanks!

Actually, very solid information. So much they wrote a tech article about it.

As far as dash LED lighting, I wouldn't recommend it.
You'd be surprised what taking the bulbs out and cleaning them along with painting the rear of the bezel face matt white will do to increase illumination.

The thing is, im replacing them due to the bulbs being burnt out. I am aware of painting the bezel and all of that, and that article is for a different style dash, hence why I asked about a 91 specifically.

On my bird I used 194 LEDs, I needed 11, I used blue and they came out very bright, visible, and looking better than stock.
