Default Feeling really stupid can't find led bulbs to put in dash

OK I just need someone to point me in the right direction. I cannot find the bulbs I need to put in the dash anywhere.

So if someone could help this noob I need super white leds for my dash. 93 civic si dash and cluster. All I seem to find is 194 bulbs. Can those work? If so I will use them.

from what i've been told LED's don't light ur dash very well, but you want #24 and #74 lights

here's a good post

if you are going to put them in your cluster, i know from experience it doesnt work well at all, they only project light straight ahead, not around, so you are left with a nasty polka dot cluster.

they are too expensive to have it look that crappy.

HOWEVER

someone on here was able to do this and get them to project very nicely

These seems to be the right size... but they are not #24 or #74

Up from the dead, but inverted LEDs cast their light 360*, versus the standard dome-type LED, which tend to "point" their light straight ahead...

168/194s are the bigger bulb-types for the cluster, and the smaller ones are #24/74 peanut-type
