Well that depends on what you are working on. (what year blazer/jimmy/bravada)

95-97 has 5 T10 bulbs in the dash.

98+ has 6 T10 bulbs in the dash.

Then you can also change out the HVAC lights to match as well.

Well I got almost all of my leds from superbrightleds.com and they are great. If you take a look at my sig you can follow the link and there you will be able to see what you need to do the whole interior. Just make sure to follow the 98+ list as the others may be different.

The HVAC is the heater and AC controls.

Let me know if you have questions before you order or you may need to return some leds.

The only ones that require soldering, I haven't listed a type of led to use. All of the ones I listed are plug and play.

And if you need a tut, this youtube video will help guide you through the process since you have a 98+.

So when you are swapping out all of the bulbs, do you have to buy new bases? Or do the LEDs just plug into them?

You need new bases for the gauges, I'm not sure if you need them for the hvac or not.
