[Healeys] LED light sockets

[John]

Update:  I received the screw in base LED lights I ordered from Moss for 
my BJ8 tach and speedo gauges.  My car is negative ground.  They fit and 
work fine.  Gauges are much brighter and easier to see.  I got the 
"short" style which are flat on top. About $10 each.
