As for the head light stitch your only options are to buy a new switch off ford or get an LED one off buggman. Highly recomend the buggman replacement.
If the 194 doesn't fit in your HVAC, it'll be a 74. I sell them for $2 a piece if anyone wants, pm me or check out my link in signature.

@RangerDanger. You cannot just buy the bulb for the 4x4 switch/fog switch/light switch. You'll need to take out the current bulb, and mod it to LED(Hard). Or just buy the whole new switch ($30+)

It's not a 74, it's a 161

Had these done for a while now. But I like them. Just ordered the 194 bulbs from amazon, I believe they were $5 for a 10 pack haha. The hotspots look worse in the picture because I used my phone...

Bumping back a thread from the dead(Last post: 06-08-2013, 10:39 AM)
I am modding my cluster and have two questions:
1.Before removing the needles everyone talks about calibrating the speedo. I havent read anywhere that talks about any of the other gauges. Am i to assume that i repeat the same process for all the other gauges or am i to assume that i just pop off all the other gauges and place them back at their last position?

2.Regarding colored PNP led mods. What gives off the best color-ie the deepest truest color with no washout? I will be using the 5SMD bulbs.
A.Stripping the overlay and adding white leds with a colored tint on the overlay
B.Stripping the overlay and adding colored leds with a colored tint on the overlay
C.Stripping the overlay and adding colored leds

"Which PNP bulb is best" is like asking "what is the best way to polish a turd".

SMD boards are the way to go...

I wasnt asking which pnp bulb was the best. I was asking which method of a overlay/led color was the best to achieve a good color. I already decided to use 5 smd pnp bulbs because with my research it has the best light distribution. Ive also ordered bulbs in white and colored so i no longer need a definite answer as i can try every method on my own now.
