Default Led question

http://ebay.com/itm/371036263580?nav=SEARCH

Are these the led lights I need for a 1998 intstrument panel? Or will I need to get a different set for like the cruise light, parking brake light, and all those small lights?

I want to replace every single bulb. I don't want to have to go back to do it again.

For a 98? No. You're the lucky one with the larger bulb size. You want the T10/194 bulbs.

Ok. Do I need to buy a set of t10 bulbs and a set of 194 bulbs? Or just one or the other? Thanks!

Both are the same, just letting you know the other interchangeable sizes. So it's either or.

Ok. These would work though correct? And do I need resistors? If so, how many and what size? Thanks for all your help!

Yep. And no, no resistors needed. Plug 'n' play, just make sure you have them plugged in properly. If they dont light, turn them 180º. I know for certain they don't need resistors as I have done mine. And I believe you only need 6 for illumintaion. For indicator lights, you do need the T5s for those. Thats IF you want to do that.

Yours will look like mine (a '98 cluster). Note, regardless of what LED you get, there'll always be a small fall-off area on the tach (I've tried many, from different sources, but the ones from Superbrightleds.com seem to last the longest). Sorry; it's a phone camera.
