Default LED lights for small guages

Hey all, looking to replace the lights in the smaller gauges of our 72 with LED plug and play. Can’t seem to find any info in the Corvette parts places in Australia, just wondering what brands fit straight in and where to purchase.

if anyone from Oz has found a company in Australia that supplies them that would be helpful

I don’t remember the exact brand name, but I got a large pack of 1895 LED bulbs on eBay for about $10.

Over a year later and no issues

i also have used superbrightleds in the past for my 78 pace car and found that they worked well and were definitely plug and play. i have continued to use them for my daily drivers that are old enough to be outside the advent of LED use. be careful however and you will need a digital flasher if you choose to use them for turn signals or any other lighting source running through the conventional flasher. they will do what they call hyper flash and not operate correctly.

What I don't like with LED bulbs for the dashboard is they cannot be dimmed at night. They are always ON full light.
