Exclamation LED in place of stock bulbs in instrument panel

The note by "MainePorsche" regarding installing LEDs in his car is similar to my own situation only I am not as up on these latest things as he is. If I were to replace my existing bulbs with LEDs what would I have to do. I had the impression that it was a straight plug in but now I don't know.

Firstly, what is the designation for the existing bulbs?

Secondly, is there a lot more to it than just replacing the bulbs.

Thanks all.

Hello Sir. It's Barney if I remember correctly.
I'm not so suave with the Forum tools to get you there, but go to Search and look for the following:
'LED Bulbs for GTS Gauge Illumination. Which one ?'

Looks like it should be helpful.
