It's not really the size of the cluster, it's the light "channels" if you will... Could you post a picture of or a link to the exact bulb that you bought? I've searched for the SMD 6 LED 194, but a few different ones came up... I want to see which one exactly you have.

Evy, you'll have to wait for AveoGirl to see how much she paid, but as for the other half of your question, if my memory serves me well, you need 5 bulbs for the cluster (bulb # 194) and 4 for the HVAC unit (# 74). May I also stress one thing: when you install the 74 bulbs into the sockets (the bulbs are tiny), make sure they're ALL THE WAY IN, so you don't have one pop out of the socket (like it did on me) into the panel... the hvac panel is a PITA to take apart and put back together because of all the silicone-greased gears and such.
