Default Consolidated LED bulb thread

After reading through the FAQ section as well as finding the deepest, darkest depths of the forum via the search function, Id like to try to start a thread consolidating all the different LED part numbers that will work as replacement bulbs/fixtures. As people post part numbers that worked for them, I will continue to update this initial post. Please also specify what year your C2 is. I realize there are some web sites that will give you a part number that allegedly replaces the factory bulb with an LED, but I've also found some instances of those numbers not being accurate. Id like to get input from those who have first hand experience with what works. Also, if I'm missing a light from any year, please let me know...I'm only working off of my '64 Coupe.

I appreciate the input!

Do all of those have bulbs too? I assumed the radio backlight was internal to the radio itself and the other 3 I hadn't noticed...although to be fair, I don't think I've driven my car at night since I acquired it back in April.

To replace the 1157 brake/tail lights: LUYED LY-10144 ($11.99 for two from Amazon July 2017)

I have not put them into my 1966 C2, but I replaced the bulbs in my 1967 Chevelle tail lights. If I was to do the Corvette, I would definitely use these bulbs.

My 66 convertible has a courtesy light under the deck lid half way across. That makes 3 C lights in my car. Not sure if it was stock or a previous owner added it, but it looks stock to me. If needed I could get a photo just let me know.

I don't know about '66 but my '67 has that light and it's stock. Same bulb as as the other 2 courtesy lights.
