The gauges are blue due to some film or paint on the back. For the fogs/headlight switches, you'll need one LED and one resistor. On one of my 74/73 bulbs you could straighten out the prongs/contacts wrapped around the bottom, and remove the LED/resistor setup from the bulb holder. That is one way you can do it. I'm unsure of the resistor to get, even after looking at one on my 74 bulb. A couple of the lines are so thin I can't distinguish what color they are.

Two map lights. One dome light. Dome light is 562. The link below is the one similar to (if not the same as) the one I bought. Very bright. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1pc-4...QQcmdZViewItem

well i couldve just bought some haha...
but i made mine
18 LEDs in the mirror, and 24 in the rear dome light
and they are SOOOOO bright
youre gonna love it when u get yours in bill
heres how they look at night:








sorry its blurry, but i didnt use a flash cause that would defeat the purpose lol

oh and i used this to figure out what resistors i needed to make my LED arrays.
you just need the voltage, #of LEDs, and forward current
