5 for the gauge pod excluding the odometer(because that is a different size bulb than the rest of the gauge pod, but the #74 bulb works for the odomoeter, I think). and there are 4 for the HVAC excluding the buttons you push in. i have yet to look to see what kind of bulb u would need for the buttons u push in.

I am going to try the Red LEDs for my car. My Aveo is red, and I would like the HVAC and Cluster gages to be red as well. I am going to order a Pioneer DEH-MP5800 soon off of Crutchfield, so those red lights will match the rest of the car. Seems a bit confusing though.
I think there should be a sticky or a closed thread at the top of the forum that list what bulbs work for what how many you need (ie. Gage cluster = X5LEDS, 5 needed) or something like that.
If I understand correctly, I need 5 of the X5 LEDs for the Speedo and Tach, and 4 of the #74 for the HVAC controls. You still dont know what kind of bulb you need for the push-buttons?

Ok, so lemme get this all straight before I start tearing apart my dash.
In order to get to the HVAC controlls, I have to take out the stereo? Or will I be able to get to it by popping off the side panels? I ordered the #74's like a retard thinking I could put them in the instruments. Yeah, I'm a dummy. So I ordered the x4's for the instruments (again, before i read the ENTIRE thread!)
But I'll live with the x4's in the instruments, since I don't want to be blinded by the panel as I drive.
In the meantime, I now have 4 blue and 1 red #74's I guess I'll work on putting those in my HVAC tomorrow.
Wish me luck! I'm just getting started in all this, and want to trick out my aveo and make it a bit more fun to drive. Why I would want to trick out an aveo is beyond me, but it just sounds like a lot of fun and frustration!
Any replies with handy dandy tips would be much appreciated.

u dont need to take the stereo out just the side panels....i think youll be disappointed with the x4's and with having the most of your hvac ;ights being blue because that one red one will mix with the blue making purple because the red is in the middle

Ok I ordered thru my father's Freightliner dealership the 194 red bulbs for the Tach/Odo panel.
Just want to clarify one thing for the HVAC panel, I need 4, #74 Bulbs? I know I'm going red with this so I need 3 red and 1 blue (for the temp control)? Thanks.

right on man. Gonna order
#74 3 red and 1 blue. (For HVAC) #3022-x9 LED Festoon bulb 2 red leds (cargo and dome light)
Already ordered 194 bulbs, not LEDS for Dash. Heard they lit a bit better. When I open the dash will look to get bulbs/leds for the blinkers and Kilometer reading.
Edit:
Read that #74 bulbs were a little too small for the blinkers, The only bulb size that I know of between #74 and #194 is #24. I'll look into it and reply back as soon as I find out.
