I say that because I know the size of dash bulbs. I've done a bulb replacement on about 7 dashes.

It breaks down like this, padre:

5x #24 + 1x #194 = cluster
2x #74 = climate control
2x #24 = *OPTIONAL* Ambient cluster (overhead light)

I used to have 74's in my cluster, and it was blotchy. I changed then when autolumination started selling 24's.

You have all the sizes right there. How many 24's are you using? My 24's always looked darker than my 194's, but they are actually brighter, so it usually pierces through.

Yeah. I've used their amber, and it's perfect with the 24's and 194's. You can also use their SuperStar LED bulbs. Granted, it'd be $35 for your cluster bulbs, but they'd all be LED's, so the intensity would be equal across the board. Their SuperStar bulbs are designed specifically for clusters.
