Dash lights

First off 1989 GXL.

I am looking to change out all the lights in my dash, I have found out that there are two bulb part numbers in the dash (194,74) but I can't for the life of me find out how many lights are in the dash(checked the FSM), if anyone knows how many lights are in the cluster, dash surround, center concole, etc. and which part number they are (weather they are the 194 or the 74) that would be very helpful. I am trying to figure this out because some of my lights are out and I just want to replace them all, and would rather not have to pull apart the dash to found that out then pull it apart again to put the lights in when they show up(im ordering the lights online). Thank you for any help.

That would be a huge help thank you, I’ve been contemplating on getting a second one to modify, but haven’t had the chance to yet. These are the bulbs I'm planning on using for the gauge cluster. They are a LED wedge bulb that will fit the 194 socket, these bulbs have High Power SMD's, the SMD's are wide angle LEDs radially mounted emitting 360 degrees.

Okay there are 8 large bulbs or 194 and one 54 at the top. However there is a cluster of 7 small bulbs on the back which are for the Auto rpm guage with the lights selection for the gears.
