Default LED interior lights

Does anybody have a list of bulbs needed for converting the interior lights (dash, console, etc.) over to LED? Particularly the driver’s dash, since that’s where I’m planning to start. I’d like to order the bulbs in advance.

What year corvette? You need to know what type bulb is used in your car. I’ve replaced the ones in my 78 with led bulbs that really work well and are dimmable for approximately $0.69 each.

Try SuperBrightLED's. I believe they have an online aid that will let you enter the make and year of your car. Haven't looked in a while but I bought all my LED's from them, with but one fitment problem.

Be sure to purchase the non-polarity sensitive LEDs, so you will not have to reverse them when installed. This is really important if you change out the cluster and speedo/tach bulbs. Also purchase specific color LEDs to match the lens of the indicator, red for parking brake, green for turn signals, blue for high beam etc.

Lots of great information on different types of LED’s at headlightrevolution.com. New designs for LED’s are coming out at least every two years. Superbright has lower prices, but leaves you guessing about some of the differences. Personally, I prefer new high-quality GE incandescent bulbs for the dash.
