I just did a blue led upgrade on my dash lights and a white led upgrade n the rest of my interior lights.
I used products from autolumination.com and am VERY happy with the products and customer service.
It's not cheap, but looking at Cool Blue at night is easy on the eyes. When I owned 18 wheelers it was always the first mod I made to them.
One note, the only 194's in my 2001 XJ are the gear.4wd indicators and map lights. The dash lights are 74's and the the HVAC and defrost and rear wiper switch are Neowedge B (10mm).

can you give us a direct link to the Neowedge B (10mm) bulbs? The reason i didn't order from auto illumination is their site is very hard to navigate.

Cool, and all the LED bulbs just plug right in to the stock connectors? (dunno if any if that changed between '95 and '01 though) Do you know if they make a dark or dim green bulb? I would like to use something to match the rest of my XJ, green with tan interior, and look close to stock, but brighter with a bit more color.

No to dark green.
They have red, cool blue, amber, blue, and more of a bright green. See the original post to find some in green on wranglerforum.

You can always find out exactly which bulbs you need and how many you need and then hit up ebay. Cheapest prices you'll find and you can probably find just about any color.
Can't guarantee the bulbs will be the same quality though
