You can pick them up on Ebay- 10 needed to replace them all. I went with the 5-LED version for more light. Style is 194/168. Remember that with LED's, you will not be able to use your dash light dimmer.
Here's a link for another site that sells them directly.

I've got them in my 80 Caballero and love the differences since now I can see the dials, etc at night. Also I could swear that I can dim them but since I seen to do ever thing backwards, it's having the engine pulled and painting the engine bay, point is I cannot go check them and I'm sure you guys are right. I seem to forget stuff but as long as I remember the word TREAT, my three dogs are happy. :yell::yell:

Led
I got mine on ebay, real cheap $$$. I like them and do not need to dim. They give a bluish light instead of yellowish. I replaced all of mine. Be careful some are directional, only work one way in socket. I believe I paid about $3 for 10 of them. I might be able to find auction if interested.

yep, the WELD-X5 is the type I got, but I bought them on ebay (Cheaper). With the X5, I find I do not need to dim them- in fact I probably would want a little brighter still, but I'm getting old!

I am looking for brighter instrument lighting too.....
I talked with their tech guy and he indicated the best choice is the weld-xHP5 if you are looking for a brighter light. But they are a lot more expensive...$5.95 on their web site. He claims they are the most popular.
Anyone use these.... They are about 1/2" diameter and almost 1" over all length...
Will they fit.....

You don't need led bulbs ! All you need to do is pull the housing apart and paint the surfaces with a white acrylic type model paint. I had the same problem and did the paint deal and it is BRIGHT now !! Its as easy a upgrade as you will ever do.Just be careful when opening the panel and don't break the gear shift selector pointer ! There are other posts on this subject if you do a search. WP

I got some one ebay for pretty cheap but they were single led's not the multiple ones and they are even dimmer than regular bulbs, so I would suggest you go for the multiple led ones.

You're wasting your money,all you need to do is paint the interior. It takes about 30 minutes and cost about 3 bucks AND you can still dim your bulbs if you wish. I doubt very seriously that it will be much brighter with just the led bulbs and no interior paint

Yep,it does make a big difference and there was some research done between chrome/silver paint and white and the white won out. If the chrome works thats great !
