Here's a video on how to upgrade the gauges, not just the bulbs, if that's what you're looking for...

If you have other small gauges make sure you get a warm strip to hopefully get close in color.  |

2 ways to do it.
Use the LED strips like in the video, or use the plug and play bulbs. The bulbs are cheap and easy, the LED strips are a more complicated install, but look a little better. For me the bulbs are more than sufficient compared to stock at least 2x as bright and a clean light makes the gauges look white again. |

Here is a video for the 911, but it's basically the same for the 914.
