Is it the same thing? T1.5 Instrument LED bulb

I have a 94 civic.
yes they are the same ones as 74 and u will need about 8 or so of them as i recall, depending on ur cluster. but it should be exact same as mine which is 92-95 so i believe it was 8,

Thanks, but i'm a little confused.
According to the "Honda-Tech" article in the first post.

Quote: "there are five #24’s, and one #74."

I have the same cluster as his, though mines was taken from an auto ex? Should be exactly the same.

I do recall when doing mine too that the bulb numbers or types were wrong, as well if you are using leds size 194s will not fit into the hole bc the led bulb is bigger so u will have to sue all 74s. and bbasically all the ones u have highloighted are the ones you should or need to use, i would plug the cluster in and turn on ur headlights to make sure u have all the lit up bulbs for ur cluster panel

you should be able to jus drop a full set of 74s in and get 1 194,
i would first open up the clusted and do some research to see what bulbs will fit and then from there just get the led bulbs a spare amount if the 194 doesnt fit and then u can always substitute the 74, about 80 cents or so each and u need min order of 25$ from them anyhow so why not get 2 color sets
