how many bulbs are behind the s14 cluster? (96' in particular)
i want to replace all the bulbs behind the cluster (all the ones that i can, clock included.. i understand bulbs like the gas light can not be switched out. )
2 more questions:
can these 194 LED bulbs replace ANY 194 bulbs? because the license plate lights are 194's, and so is the bulb that illuminates the PRND12
and are the 'white' 194 LEDs actually white, or are they yellowish like stock 194 bulbs?

One of the whole purposes of putting LED's in your car is because they make more bright, true light. The white is actually white, not yellowish, and LED's don't dim or burn out like regular light bulbs. I believe they replace any 194 bulb, that's what the website says that the LED's are sold off that biggamehit listed. I think 5 bulbs should be fine for the s14 cluster, I was told there were only 4, but I'd get 5 just in case. And I think you can switch out the gauge lights. Sorry if I sound angry, I'm just typing fast.

you can swap every light there..
the smaller lights are #74 and the bigger lights are 194
only thing is
you cant use them in your blinkers with out there blanker unit... LEDs take less current and will appear that you have a blown bulb.

can't get my clock to illuminate.. i bought the special size for the clock, and i put it in there, won't illuminate.
i tried turning the bulb around in the socket, i even tried turning the socket around.. no dice.
i've never seen it light up, i assumed that when i bought the car, the bulb was already blown.. but even with a new bulb, it won't light up..? is there a fuse somewhere that i can replace? cuz the rest of the bulbs light up my dash just fine
circled is the socket with the bulb that i replaced for the clock.
the red line is to show where the clock is lined up on the board, so you can see the space between the socket and the clock.
the socket is off an inch or so, but it's the nearest socket and the bulb fits perfect.
