just installed these a few days ago.

jbgroby · 02-22-2016, 09:13 AM

looks great, never really have to worry if they burn out, they last a long time,.

**LostMy65** · 02-22-2016, 10:38 AM

Looks nice.
.
I put a green led in my shift indicator.

Lugnutz65 · 02-22-2016, 11:36 AM

Tip your hand a little and please tell us what bulb to buy and where to get them. I like my factory dash but brighter would be better.

I've always wanted to add a light to my shift indicator that would look so cool.

There should be a light in the shift indicator. If you pull the trim piece off there is a light cover and a bulb under it. You won't see it as it is hiding inside.

I like that! What bulbs did you use and where did you get them

**LostMy65** · 02-22-2016, 07:43 PM

These are what I used for my auto column.

But please tell us what LED bulbs you used for your gauges.

ConradBSomething · 02-22-2016, 09:36 PM

**Chevy Fleetside** · 02-23-2016, 12:52 AM

Looks like I am going to give them a try...

65chevysub · 02-23-2016, 07:32 PM

Do the bulbs for the 60-66 auto column work in the 72 tilt columb? I have a 72 tilt in my truck.

Ghernandez66 · 02-23-2016, 08:52 PM

I'm I the only one having trouble opening the eBay Web address? I would love to know own how this was done to the dash.

**LostMy65** · 02-23-2016, 09:02 PM

For the bulbs in this thread, I had to go to eBay and search for item number 251468576386

Ghernandez66 · 02-23-2016, 09:18 PM

So seems like we just replaced the original bulbs with this new led ones?

corvettejim1968 · 02-24-2016, 07:56 AM

its really as simple as replacing the bulbs nothing special is needed . I changed all 10 bulbs in about 12 minutes.

Slambone · 02-26-2016, 03:13 PM

The place is called Octane Lighting Inc. they're in Canoga Park CA. I went there this morning and picked up a set.

YOLO · 02-27-2016, 10:04 AM

Done. Bought them!

sambrutay · 02-27-2016, 11:28 AM

When I did my cluster I painted the inside of the housing white. Also I modified the harness to accept 4 more bulbs. So I have 8 for the back lights and the 3 for the turn signal and bright. I'll download a pic of mine in my truck at night. It's very bright! I like it that way too. They don't dim though
