Fit #194 bulbs in you dash if you have a 98 or 99 maxima

This is a write up I made a couple of days ago, I wish i took more pic's.

And I wrote this write up assuming that everyone knows how to get to their gauges.

Hasn't it been determined, over and over, that the 97 Maxima does not use 194 bulbs? I mean, which one is it? Does it take a 194 bulb or not? I am eager to install the LED 194 bulbs, but have read that some other guys bought these and when they went to install them, they didn't fit. I don't want to waste my money either.

Can someone on this board give an affirmative answer to this modification?

(2 inches away.) it is my belif, that since the led's emit light straight up, and do not project much to the sides then the gauges will look dull and spotty. i wouldn't use them.
