From a previous thread of mine (in response to PaulUptime):

Paul,
I installed the Superbrightleds.com # BA9s-WWHP5 (warm white) for my 62's instruments.
If your 65 uses the same #57 bulb as my 62 used (for instruments and clock), then the above Superbrightleds.com number should work well for you. They would also replace the later 1895 bulbs (as were in my 70 Vette).
I was very pleased at the brightness and the fact that they dim (as needed).

I'll chime in on the speaker portion of this post:
If you're running the OEM radio this speaker is the one to use, scroll down to:
1958 - 1967 Corvette Speaker

The standard bulbs you buy today are not the same quality as the ones that originally came in these cars (or so I have been told). I put all new bulbs in my cluster about 2 years ago, and have already had to replace two of them. Some will tell you this is normal for Chinese bulbs (which is mostly what you will find today).
