1998 ford explorer sport
I am wanting to swap out all my instrument cluster lights but I would like to know what the LED conversion is. I'm talking everything from the turn markers to speedometer and tack to 4wd switch and so forth. I have a 98 sport.

There is a pretty good discussion on this topic here:

I was looking at the philips 194 LEDs today, a bit pricey, but looked really nice. I understand there are 6 194s and 8 37s required. Mine are getting the upgrade in a few days, I haven't done it myself.

Awesome thank you. I tried researching it but come up with like 6 different bulb types
 


















Are you doing it for aesthetics or because the bulbs are burnt out (or both)?

I would strongly encourage you to stick with brand name LEDs like Phillips for example) and not the cheap eBay ones. The brand names are much more expensive for a reason. The cheap ones have wildly varying quality and i've gotten entire batches that burn out after a few hours.

Both. There is only 1 bulb burned out and my ocd says it needs to be replaced. I figured while I'm in there, replace them all since it is going to be apart
