decided to see what led's look like

[dennisspeaks]

saw these led's on ebay for a buck with free shipping, thought what the heck. Hard to take pictures but big difference between the speedo and the radio.

Anyone know what the bulbs for the radio, clock, heater/air conditioning and gear shift are?

Pictures are very bad. (FYI most dash bulbs are wedge bulbs in either 161, 168, or 194)

They look like your gauges aren't even on, and I can't even see the radio.
Just for comparative sake, here's the photo graph evolution of mine after restoration and 5 SMD 194 bulb LED's.
This was BEFORE I changed the baby blue reflector ring inside to white.

Night exposures are VERY hard to get done properly. Have to be dead steady or it doesn't expose correctly.
Make sure your battery light (blue) is off or it's going to overexpose the photo and wash everything else out.

This is AFTER I repainted the baby blue reflector ring to gloss white.

yours looks much better, obviously I need to be able to take better pictures in the dark

Aces, I had no idea you had a talent for understatement .

Dennis, you posted one photo that shows a giant blue blob, and another that's just black.

It's a bit tough to judge from those.

As for lamp numbers, I will assume that this is for the '65 JetStar in your profile. Your Chassis Service Manual says:
