Hell yeah I think you'd be close! It took me a little bit to get the right orientation to make all the bulbs work so if they don't work right away try rotating them a bit until they light up and you can see them lit up before securing the cluster in the dash. I must've put in and out my cluster connectors 9 times before I got it perfect. Good luck and post those photos up when you're done! Mine will be on when its darker outside!

Clusters need 7 of the bulbs that light up the gauges, needles, and clock. I must say, photos just cannot show what the eye actually sees...I'll post them up here in 10 min...I was playin a bit more with the dash and one of the bulbs got turned too much and didn't light back up...so you'll have to assume what it looks like when ALL are lit up...only one isn't. And for some reason I had the dash on the lowest dim so another reason why it might look more dim then it acutally is. I'm happy as hell with 'em though.

This is the Tach with the dimmed, red LEDs

This is the entire cluster with one bulb not illuminated; also completely dimmed...
The hot spots are near impossible to see with your eyes when int he cabin however the photos exemplify the spots. I am 100% very happy with what they look like and how they perform in person. It is hard to judge these photos accurately.

These may help - this is my extra cluster so there are a couple lights missing
My 93 cluster has a hard wired air bag light but the 95 (my spare) has a normal light that goes in the cluster.

Wow, that's from a '93? Mine looks similar but fairly different...only 7 are needed to get the results...

The big part is from a 95 - just the black section in the middle is from my 93 (they're actually labeled in sharpie).
The 93 looks exactly the same though. the only difference is the air bag light.
The 7 that need to be changed are the teal colored lights in my picture.

Right I understand; however my '93 cluster looks different, starting with the black section that covers the Tach. Compeltely trivial though. Nice work on the cluster detail and stating which one's are to be replaced...
