What bulbs are you trying to replace, and what type of LED are you trying to replace them with?

In that case, yes, you can replace the 194's but you may not get even lighting. LED's have a "spot" beam while 194's flood the whole inside of the cluster with light.

With the tail lights, you can install LED 1157 or 3157 bulbs, but you'd probably find they won't be very bright behind your Cougar's stock light housings. YOu will also have to keep regular bulbs up front so that the turn signal flasher flashes, or youll need to add some load resistors to the circuits if you want LED's at all four corners.
