Just plain white light but some sort of regular bulb so it shines 360 degrees and no hot spots!

Big difference since i've never had light on the 4wd shifter, looking good now!

It bugs when people write it that way! Pre-96 means 95 and older. Post-97 means 98 and newer. So what do model years 96 & 97 use?

2 weeks later I finally got around to installing the LEDs. I got a 1990 Cherokee Laredo and used 194s. Probably too many because my blinkers and high beam indicators aren't working :/

All but two were the right way. Putting the speedometer cable back on was fun. Not having those indicators is even more fun.
