Just did mine yesterday. For just the illumination part its 5 or 6. If you include all the warning lights and turn signals its close to 20. I bought the 5 SMD style wedge and put them in all but the ABS light and the HVAC controls. The ABS didn't want to go out completely and they were too long to fit in the HVAC.

hope that helps

What type of LED did you use and where did you get them?

I used 5 SMD wedge bulbs like these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2x-1...ptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories You can find them in 10 packs too and they also work in the rear license plate light. I put the taller ones in the door lights, glove box, and overhead dome light.

The picture doesn't do it justice. It looks more like the reverse indiglo gauges. A lot brighter and cleaner colors.

i got my led bulbs the other day, took off one of my autometers to test them all out to make sure they all work, they did. soon i'm going to tear my dash apart and put these in, but i have to wait till my multimeter gets back. should be any daynow
