What is the light bulb number for dash lights
What is the light bulb number for dash lights
I have a 65 monza and just got brand new bulbs for it but they didn't work when I put them in. What's the correct particle number of the right bulbs to use?

I found these on Ebay - and - they work great, as well as being much brighter. Also, you can get them in various colors:

Re: What is the light bulb number for dash lights
firstgen...I have looked at those bulbs...did you get the green bulbs, or the white? If you got the green could you take a picture of it at night, I would really love to see how it looks in since the color in the case is a light green too. They are dimmable too right?

Re: What is the light bulb number for dash lights
Hi wbabst - I got an assortment - white/green/red/blue. I played with a couple of combinations but settled on white for the dash, red for the high beam, green for the turn signal indicators. They are NOT dimmable - they are either on or off - but - was not a problem as they were a very comfortable level. I'll get a pic posted this weekend - Andy.

When I redid my dash I ordered from SuperBrightLEDS.COM - I ordered the green to give it that vintage look and what before was a dying fire-fly is now a bright vibrant green.
I used their vehicle search and every one of the bulbs fit as expected.

Re: What is the light bulb number for dash lights
Doug, thanks for that, and it states that their bulbs will work with dimmer in the switch. I tend to like my dash board bright but sometimes when driving at night out in real darkness, a bright interior makes it harder to see the road, so I like to be able to dim them at times. I would love to see how yours looks with the green lights, vs Andy's with the white.

Here ya go. This was taken in a completely dark garage. You can see the difference between full brightness and dimmed.

This isn't a great picture, but I changed all my dash lighting to blue LEDs.

I edited the picture above to try to bring out the light illumination and color...

Re: What is the light bulb number for dash lights
Sorry, almost forgot to post. Here is my cords dash with the white LEDs. My tablet appears to have dimmed the picture as they are much brighter than in the pic. Will try my phone camera tomorrow.
