Here's the typical style...96 Corvette LEDs

Or did they have a pattern that fit more like this? Spider LED bulbs

Default Company called superbrightleds.com
have had excellent luck with this company and they are relatively cheap to buy and ship. They have a conversion chart on the site. I got my #24s from them for my backup lights and my license plate light bulb. www.superbrightleds.com or www.autolumination.com.

I couldn't find No. 24 anywhere on that site.

Hopefully, they'll respond to my email, though.

I did not buy the spare tire bulb. But the reverse lights are 1156xLX3 Luxeon LED Bulbs. If they respond to your other bulb request let me know. Thanks GC

The license plate and spare tire lights are all No. 24 bulbs. Thanks for giving me the number for the reverse lamps.

Got an email this morning from Matt at SuperBright LEDs, Inc. This is what he wrote:

Hello,

I believe our #74 bulb will replace your 24. Please see this page
and compare dimensions first before ordering:
