Default Instrument Light replacement

I have not yet had the dash apart on my 95 F150 to replace some burnt out instrument bulbs. Since I have to take the whole thing apart I am going to replace all of the bulbs. Can anyone tell me how many there are? I know these wedge style bulbs fit into a twist in socket is it a go0d Idea to replace them as well on general principles.

Looks like I will find out how many bulbs I have when I take the dash apart.

Ah, - guess I missed your post from yesterday. Offhand, if there's a quantity discount for 10-12, suggest to buy the box - those 2-pak deals at AutoZone will put you in the poor house in a hurry.

Trying to think - by the time I replaced the 'check engine', 'rear ABS', turn signal indicators, etc on the warning lamp strip below the dash - I know it had to be at least a dozen.

Besides, those 194 lamps are used in other places - so a having a couple extra won't hurt.

NAPA has the long life bulbs for 1.99 each I'll get then there. Yes these 194 are every where in my interior and I think a bunch of then a burnt out as well so it going to be a 194 replacement party.
