Re: replacing dash lights with led?
As far as IP Cluster no problem. Plenty of substitute colored lamps and LEDs are available to replace the stock 194 instrument lamps. We have a link to a vendor someplace. I'd have to look for it.

Re: replacing dash lights with led?
and as far as the radio and HVAC, they are soldered in. They are tiny little incondescant bulbs. In order to put a LED in there you would have to also put a resistor in series with each LED.

Also the polarity of the LED must be also observed, otherwise it will not light.

Re: replacing dash lights with led?
Dr Hardware recommended me to go with 1K ohm when I converted over my fog light switch and my heated seat switch. They have worked flawlessly without burning the LED's out. Go with 1000 ohm.
Check Tips and maintenance. I did a couple writeups on LED conversions.
