LED dash bulbs question
Will these fit the sockets that light up the gauges on my 72?

Re: LED dash bulbs question
I've bought and used these one several times:

Re: LED dash bulbs question
And remember that the LED bulbs are polarity sensitive. If you plug one in and don't get any light, rotate it 180 degrees and it'll work.

Re: LED dash bulbs question

Re: LED dash bulbs question
Used led's in my 71 c10's dash & the light made guages easier to see etc. Whiter vs the yellowish.

Re: LED dash bulbs question
I took that link directly from the my previous orders history, and I ordered them specifically to use in my 67-72 truck, so I can confidently say the one I linked will work. I was a little concerned about it too but went ahead and tried them. Worked just fine.

I bought the 50 Led's from amazon and they are longer than the factory bulbs, but fit the "194 Wedge Base" just fine, I even used some for the dash in my '99 Camaro and no fit problems, just have to make sure they are installed for correct polarity, meaning if they don't light up, just take them out, turn them 180 degrees and that should do the trick. Mine work just fine.....
