Sure thing. These were the bulbs I changed on my '97 3.0. I believe the main differences are that yours has a dash light indicator for a key immobilizer and that the font style of your mph/km/rpm are italicized.

The backlit bulbs are all 194/168 wedge bulbs, the ones up top that illuminate down are #74's

If I remember correctly, it's two #74s up top and 4 168's in the back. If you decide to go with LEDs, I'd suggest you go with wide LED to spread the light throughout the dash.

Correct, the two #74's are in the top aiming down, there are 4 168 wedges, and yes, definitely do the wide angle LED's or you'll have hot spots

So to make sure, 6 of these 74 LEDs and 15 of these 194 LEDs should cover all of the cluster bulbs?
Or is it +2 of the 74 and +4 of the 194 to cover backlighting as well?
EDIT: This thread helped. 4 168/194 bulbs + 1 74 (blue incandescent recommended by Musulsa) for back lights only.

Just to add some info, those two 74s at the top illuminate the needles on the gauges.
Mine both were out when I bought the car. It was weird the first time I drove at night.

You'll want 2 bulbs of #74 not 1.. unless you only need 1, of course.
Haven't taken mine apart to know for sure.
