Icon2 Gauge Cluster Lighting

Alright, I'm driving a 95 Accord LX, and I know it's a bear to get the cluster out, so I want to find out what I need before I rip it apart. I've lost one of my speedometer lights, and I bet they're all original, so I'm just gonna replace them all while it's out, so I don't have to do it again.

So, How many bulbs do I need? (I believe they're all 74's?)
Also, what kind of bulb is used for the gas light?

The following indicators uses Size 74 bulbs:

High Beam
Turn Signals
Brake (Emergency Brake)
Check Engine
Seatbelt


Two size 74 bulbs are also used in the top half of the cluster , one in the cigarette lighter socket and another in coin tray (right underneath the radio).

For the main cluster four Size 194 bulbs are used.

You're going to have to read up on hs Climate Control guide as well (in oder to get to the cluster.

So, how many 194's are there? Are those the only ones that illuminate, or are there others that do so too?

Sorry, but for Accords model years
'94, 95, 96 and 97 are considered 5th Generation.
'98, '99, '00, '01 and '02 are considered 6th Generation.
I believe '90, '91, '92 and '93 are 4th Generation

Well, I had though he was driving a '92, so wouldn't that cause the bulb sizes and amounts be different?
