Default Dash Lights

Howdy Expert Panel...

If I wanted to replace every conventional old bulb in my dash during my interior resto with blue LED's (I know, a little cheesy, but I like it), how many bulbs total will I need to order.

I did a count and am afraid I've missed one or two. Are there 14 total?

I know someone on here can tell me definatively.

Many thanks.

Default LED is the way to go

Do some research on the search function. I changed all mine while the dash was out but I can't remember the size. I went with blue LED and it looks great. I got them all through a place on ebay.

Wow, those look cool! I just replaced all mine with 'regular' old white bulbs...

Stroh - you can go to Corvette Central and look up the complete light kit which is what I bought, they have the listing of bulbs there with the product info. It lists all the bulbs and the types and where they go.

Corvette Central's search engine leaves a lot to be desired. Couldn't find blue LED dash bulbs, kits, lights... No matter what I typed. Very frustrating. I think I may have found some on amazon though.
