Will I only need two bulbs since I only have a gas and a speedometer?

more than likely putting leds in the cluster will not change the color of the gauges. I am not sure on that style cluster but most have a plastic filter tha gives them the color. You need to remove it and look sleeper is right they should be 194's but I would think there is more than two

Not sure about your cluster exactly, but on my 92, I changed about 6 bulbs. I found my bulbs, 194s, at a truck stop. Just as cheap and no shipping. I had to go to the ford house and pick up some of the housings for the bulbs because the original bulb would not separate from them. Can't tell you what those cost, but must have been cheap, the ford house just gave them to me.
Good luck

So I popped off the covers and took a picture of the bulbs(sorry for the quality).Then I went to sylvania.com and it said the bulbs are 211-2.Is that correct?
