Default LED cluster question

So I went to Superbrightleds.com to get red leds for my 96 ex cluster. Problem is I went to their sylvannia link and it said I needed 194 bulbs, but it turns out I only needed one of those bulbs to fit the larger socket ( in between the bottom of the tach and the speedo) so now I'm stuck with a bunch of big bulbs I can't do anything with. Can anyone give me the exact bulb number and quantity for a 96 civic cluster and climate control as well? I searched honda-tech but couldn't find a definite answer. Any and all help appreciated. Thanks

are you talking about the tiny ones ? i did my 2000 cluster in led bulbs. i dont know if there the same bulbs but ill look and post the part number tommorow when i get to work. my audio guy got me a hook up on mine .

pic is all leds in all slots.
fyi ....because they use so little power they do not do well in the low fuel light. that light uses variable volts so the second that bulb see's any volts it will illuminate....

ok so i stopped by the shop i got my bulbs from and saw only t5 on the package. im not to sure if this will help ya or not but im posting these for you too see, i had to use a dremel tool to carve out some plastic in each black bulb saddle in order for the led bulb bodys to fit down in side of them. the grey saddles fit right in no problem.

ok cool thanks. I only planned on doing the illumination bulbs, not the cel, battery, fuel light, etc. so I don't think I'll run into that problem.

you can do all the bulbs, just not the fuel one! its the only lowvoltage bulb in a cluster.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the T1.5 twist lock bulbs from superbrightleds.com will work, but I'm still stumped on the tiny *** ones for climate control. I might just put a led strip light and splice it into the existing wires if I can't find the right bulbs.
