I bought these LEDs for the instruments in my 1966 B, from LEDLight.com.
Product ID 57567
#1487 Miniature Bulb E10 Base 5 5050 12V Dim-able T3 1/4
Color: Warm White 3000K
$2.42 ea.
Note that there are brighter bulbs, but they contain more LED elements =
and are longer, and will not fit in the fuel or combo gauge locations. =
The number after the word =E2=80=9CBase=E2=80=9D indicates the number of =
elements. The next size would be a =E2=80=9C9=E2=80=9D.
I chose Warm White to simulate the color of the incandescent bulbs. I =
had tried the Bright White bulbs but I didn't like the effect =E2=80=94 =
it was slightly bluish and actually tended to wash out the lettering on =
the gauges.
I did not use LEDs in the turn signal indicators because I didn't see =
any need for them to be brighter.

So is there anyone who is into this subject as your help would

I do hope that all is well with you and yours. We are not =
