My gauge panel takes I believe 12-13. How many did you get for $10.00 ?

10. They have bigger packs, too.
The fun part is getting all the contacts oriented correctly.

Just ordered a 20 pac. For $10.00 del. I had no idea they were that inexpensive after checking out other LED lights.

It's a scam; they all probably come from the same plant.
Just as an FYI: I took them out of the marker lights because it made a weird hotspot and looked trashy.

Did you use a white LED? I have found matching the color of the LED to the marker light works best and you can always "black out" or block the LED facing the lens to diffuse it and only have the light come out the sides.

Yeah, but on the Bonneville, the bulb is at the bottom of the lens. An amber incandescent looks much better.

You are correct about the different colored sockets using different bulbs. I cannot remember what color is which but from the factory there was a difference. Not saying the bulbs are not interchangeable but there was a difference. I have a chart somewhere for the monte carlo I'll see if I can find it

Found it

That’s interesting and good to have. I’m going with the LEDs so I guess it doesn’t matter now.

You know what's funny is a couple months ago I was looking for a taillight socket part number and I had it all along
