if you want to spend some dough, im pretty sure that dakota digital makes a cluster for a 94. you probably will spend around 500 though.
Closer to $600

I've seen glo gauges for your model for the center speedo/fuel gauge. www.whitegauges.net have white gauges. You can swap to a 89 dash and get one that looks like the older ones (speedo and fuel not one) but still electronic. Your dash is the same as a 93 s-10 just everybody forgets the suvs carried the first gen body over one year when they list stuff. I have blue LEDs in my 87 with the white faces but I don't like the blue. They were cool at first when I done them but after we put the white LEDs in my brothers 98 dime I like them more.

Sorry, you have the 110 speedo. They still make glo gauges and that link I gave you makes white faced kits.
http://www.whitegauges.net/whitegaug...roductsID=1330
notice where it says 85 or 110 speedo then lists the rest of the gauges.

The LEDs I got off ebay 10 for like 10 or 12 bucks shipped. I would just give them to ya but a guy here local done called dibs when I pull them out.

these are the LEDs I got

here are the glo gauges but like I said they don't come with the rest of the gauges, just the speedo and fuel.

All I did was change out the PC194 for LED's. I believe it took 7 LED's, but honestly I think I need better bulbs. The ones I have now dont throw enough light and I might have to invest in some better bulbs. As of now at night I cannot see my odometer, trip, or the gear selector.
