194 is the standard size peanut bulb.
i think the 168 is the little tiny bulbs like the instrument cluster takes for the indicator lights. |

oh, thats weird.
i know mine takes normal peanut bulbs, im going to assume the panel is the same on all 95-09 rangers bulb wise. |
LED 194/168's are all different sizes... If you buy them too long they wont fit. That's why it'd be nice to know what LEDs are the biggest that fit.

When I did my first HVAC led mod, I used 2 blue 194 inverted LEDs that I figured out which lead needed to be where, then soldered them in. I "aimed" them to get the most out of them.......and they LOOKED GREAT! Even light.....looked awesome.
The pic you posted happens to be my buddy Trevor's truck...he's got 9 total 5mm LED's that are soldered in(so do I now). Your stock bulbs in there are those same little bastards that are in your gauge cluster. I have no clue the size/# of them, but I know they are the same as my idiot lights on my cluster.....ALOT smaller than 194/168/906's. Why not just take your truck apart like we do and find out what those bulbs are?? Shane |

Like these guys... http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/c...7/PICT2372.jpg They sell '74' style LED on autolumination.. http://superlumination.com/74.htm http://superlumination.com/images/au..._3led_b_wm.jpg |

i know thats how mine was but it was blue. |
^^It's a filter that's simply just sittin there in between the "faceplate" and the "light dispursement" plastic. the filter is painted green, or green/blue(on oldermodels.) I know for a fact, that my 01 stock are not 194's. And I know that my non-led'd 98 is also not 194's.
There's two of those tiny little bastards, just like the illumination bulbs in the 04+ cluster. |
well i just changed out my 99 with 2 194 white led's 4 the time being until i take out that film your talking about
|
im actually gonna do that 2 nite lol i cant wait 2 c it lol
|
^^That's odd that they'd do a change like that.......i mean, i believe you that yours is like that, but just find it odd.
|
yea 194 wont fit my hvac. it takes those 74 bulbs
|
i used 194s in mine
