1966-67 HCS LED replacement bulbs

[66hcs-conv]

Hey all.

Happy 4th !:flag:

I've got my '66 ammeter in a shop to be converted to a volt meter, and thought I would replace all the INTERIOR incandescent instrument lights with LED.

I've gotten bulbs from different sources, and they are loose in the old sockets. The little tabs/bumps at the base of the bulbs don't stick out far enough to hold the bulb in the socket, and the bulb ends up cocked.

Anybody found bulbs that fit?

Thanks, Dave

Hey Dave, I know this post is a few years old but my red plasma bulbs from West Coast Classic Cougars fit nice and tight. It was actually a bit harder to shove them in than I expected.

They are certainly a bitch to install!

Will electric grease help?

Yes, I did the first one then thought of it. Definitely helped the remaining 5
