So i ordered some of the 194 leds for my 1990 cherokee and they will not fit. Now I am wondering if they even have any that fit? Has anyone done just a plug and play with the pre 97s? My stock lights are not wedge insert like the ones i ordered and i can't seem to find any that will fit.

Gauge clusters should all be the same throughout the years. I'd say go with neo wedge t5 LEDs. They slide right in and lock in

I just ordered red LEDs for my cluster and console. Now I am asking a huge favor from you guys.
Does anyone have info on what LEDs it would take to replace the following:
-Overhead dome lights
-Glove box light
-Floor lights
-Window switch lights
Thanks!
Also interested in possible blinker, break lights, & running light LED's.

44mm festoon bulbs. LEDs for 99 grand Cherokees will definitely work but they aren't as bright. Festoons for your xj might still work but you may have to do some persuasion
Honestly couldn't tell you since my bulbs out and haven't looked yet. Pull the bulb out and match it up to a bulb on superbrightleds
9 led tower bulbs
You can't change those lights.
Look at page 11 I posted up all the bulbs you need plus links

Trying to order for my 92 now, but I can't figure out what I need. Read through the entire thread again and only found for the dash.
So far: 5x 74s for the instrument cluster
Still need 2x for the shifters and however many for the HVAC controls.
