Heck Yeah man,thems should works fuhr Yuh.
Must rememer,LED stands for "Light Emitting Diode" and being a diode is a one way dam for lectrical current,and so,them LED bulbs`ll work in only one way,What I`m trying to say is,there is a positive and a negative side to an LED bulb,plug it in backwards and it may not, or, should not light up fuhr Yuh.

Please be advised, they said nothing about being dimmable. Some people don't care about that aspect of it, but I am in the minority in that I want mine dimmable. Hot spots are another possibility with LED's. Not saying it will happen, just a possibility.

To answer your question, yes they will fit. 194 or 168 bulbs are what you need.

They should, other than the neg. & pos. Issue, the dimmer wont work right, the resistance in the switch would be much too low, but they will work as long as fit in a 168 & 194 socket, usually 168 is what you'd go with in the cluster.

Just wanted you to have good information before you drop good money on stuff that may or may not be what you want. The more informed your choice is the better.
