Default Interior Bulbs

I am looking to do a complete swap out of the bulbs in the center console, and the dash where the speedo and tach are at. Anyone know how many bulbs are needed? I didn't want to go and order 50, and only need 25.... And mines a 1979. I do know there's a few interior differences between that one and the 74...

I believe you will need 20 of the 194 bulbs....one of the 1895. You will also need the one that shines light down on the center console I use an LED so it does not get hot and melt the plastic like they are well known to do and I get it from Super bright led's.

You will also need a light bulb for the glove box if you care about that.

I would seriously look into getting LED's for your gauge lights. It GREATLY helps out on how bright your gauegs are at a night...if that also matters to you.
