Default Speedometer Light Size?

Hey I've got a '98 and I'm looking to replace the lights in my speedometer, AC controls, and Lighting Controls. I'd like to replace them with blue LED's and I'm unsure of what size I would need and although I think I could do it pretty easily on my own, I'm not exactly sure how to do it. So if anyone knows what size bulbs and how many I would need and how to replace these lights b4 I rip everything apart I'd appreciate it. Thx

9 of the 194 bulbs for the gauges. The other interior will require some 74 size bulbs, not sure how many. You can figure that out easy enough though.

they are 194 but i wouldnt recomend changing them. i thought it would look cool so i did it when i changed my gauges to white, but it looks terrible. they arent bright enough to see unless its pitch black outside and when u can see them, some are brighter than the others. it makes dark spots on my speedometer. i want to change them back to white but its such a pain to get to the gauge cluster. trust me man. it doesnt work

They look fine to me... These are mine by the way. Trust me, it does work. Have had no problems with them.

EDIT: Pic will not post right. Check out my FQuick pictures for some of the LEDs. Link in sig.

Yes, it plugs right in. Everything reads correct with the exception of the tach (reads 75% of what it should), and the oil pressure gauge. It points the same direction it would on the 6 cluster, it is just that the numbers are different on the Z cluster. I did have to put black tape over the SKIP SHIFT light and the ASR light, as I had heard that sometimes they light.
