I got the #194 Replacement Bulbs that not only had LEDS coming out the Front, but all the way 360 Degres around. I think I needed 6 (but bought 8 for good measure) and it cost me abot $60.00 with shipping. Made a PHENOMINAL DIFFERENCE!

I don't know how many, but I'd go ahead and at least replace the turns as well if you're going to do this (if not ALL of them).

The Exterior of my Truck will (eventually) be Green, so I went with all Green LED Lighting, (this is the LED Bulbs that have the 360 Degree Rotation AND out the Front)! About 5 years ago, I replaced all my standard, clear #194 Bulbs, with "Green Glass Bulbs, with DISMALL results!!! But as you can see in this Video below, the Green LED's against the Silver Faces of the Autometer Pro Comp Gauges is absolutley STUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!!
