Cool A couple interior mod questions

Hey, hope everyone is doing well. I have a few questions as I want to give my interior a little pizazz but need a little help.

First off, I was looking at gauges for the blazer. I found a gauge on ebay that says it won't work, but I don't see a reason why it wouldn't? If someone can help me with this issue please. Here is the link to the item: Gauge

Second off, I was looking to replace the original bulbs in the gauge cluster (speed-o, oil, gas, volt). I was going to replace the original bulbs with some led's.

I know led's don't dim well, but I'm hoping these will be bright enough but not overkill.

Gauge lights are 194 right?
So these would work? Clicky

And there are a couple other places that use the 194 led like the map light?

Thanks for the help!

On my dash, the temp and fuel gauges are directly above the oil pressure and voltage. The one in your link has them situated closer to the center. It's also missing the tach. If your dash looks like that then I can't see why else it wouldn't work.

Those 194's should work but you're right, they don't dim much, as I scroll that **** down, they maintain full brightness until right before the bottom and they'll kind of flicker a little and get slightly dimmer. With the **** at the very bottom, the led's will turn off completely just as regular halogen bulbs would. I'm not sure what else uses 194s

Ok, thanks for your help. Are you satisfied with your led's in the gauges?
