Updated dash lights

[coyote42]

Hi Guys,
I am on my way to the final assembly of my 73 Challenger rebuild. I am looking for upgraded dash lights with the twist bases for the light bar and shifter console. I am not seeing what I am looking for online. Do you have any suggestions or part numbers for led replacements that have twist bases. I'm probably just not looking in the right places. Thanks

Dash lights a Brighter possibility. Took gauge cluster out to clean all connections. Found some light sockets rusted. Cleaned all cluster and switch terminals and grease. Had the dimmer switch out and jumped with a wire while working on it. I think I still have a problem with the socket for the clock. I'll take it out and check it. The bulbs I used are listed above each picture. As Huskydrive said they dimmed have yet to try that. I'm sure they do.
@Huskidrive posted what he used for dash lights. I tried and like it. I give him credit for this...

Look up BA9, need to be careful and find LEDs that don't flare out.
Look for the smallest circumference, the openings in the light bar are small.

I used these in my Cuda, put them in about 5 years ago and they have been working great.
