Default Cluster Question

I am going to pull my cluster, add the gauge bezel rings and white back lit gauge faces, has anyone had any experience doing this mod and are there any pit falls.
While I am in the cluster I am thinking of changing the gauge bulbs to LED's are all bulbs equivalent 194 or inside the cluster are there different types of bulbs.
Can someone post a schematic for the cluster connections so I can splice the dimmer for the back light into the on/off for the cluster.
Any comments or help will be appreciated
Thanks,
tentuna

It all comes apart pretty easy. I usually just paint the bezel with a paint marker, a lot cheaper and easy to do. As for the overlay, I haven't done those.
