I used the SilverStar 168/193 incandescents. They're good bulbs.

Its been done a buncha times. Easy swap, i did mine with the dash pad off since i was doing other work but loose should be enough.

For my truck just had to pull the bezel, the lens, then each gauge and just poked em in the back. Didnt have to mess with pulling out the instrument cluster or the dash pad.

Make sure to get some higher quality leds (size 168/194) otherwise they'll start to flicker after a while due to being cheap. Cheap leds may not all have the same color temperature as each other as well.
