[Healeys] LED light sockets

[Al Fuller]

Thanks Charlie.

 

I actually already have LEDs in the dash.  Was just wondering about sources if looking for the other bulbs.  No big deal.

Al,

 

The LEDs that I bought I got directly from the owner of Classic and Vintage Bulbs.  He is from Australia, I think, but attends Fall Hershey where I found him.  He owns British cars as does Jeff Zorn.  You could go to the link I gave below and figure out what you need from that and then search the internet to find it elsewhere.  The problem is that may not give you the correct base size for the screw in instrument bulbs, where Jeff at lbcarco knows what is correct.  Let us know what you find.

 

Charlie

Charlie – thanks for the LED info. 

  

Question:  would you know of sources other than Jeff Zorn / LBCarCo, for those of us who have had their fill? 

  

Thanks,

Fred,

I don't think you need to change out the sockets.  Check out Classic and Vintage Bulbs website at www.classicbulbs.com <http://www.classicbulbs.com> .  He makes a lot of the bulbs that will fit old British cars.  The USA dealer is Little British Car Co., lbcarco.com.

Actually, I just checked the first link and it goes to lbcarco.  If you can't find them there, email Jeff Zorn at lbcarco.  He is an MGA owner, so he will know exactly what you are talking about.

Listers,

 

I am converting all of the lighting on my 66 BJ 8, other than headlights, to LED bulbs.  So far, everything has gone fine.  The improved lighting/visability is great.  I now discover that the speedo and the tach are screw base bulbs, not the wedge type bulb of the fuel and combo gauge.

 

Does anyone have a source for an LED wedge bulb socket that fits the speedo and tach?  Or is it possible to get a screwbase LED bulb that will fit the existing sockets?  Moss does not carry a socket that fits anything but the high beam and alternator warning lights.  

 

What "size" is the actual screw base.  On line there are varity of bases and i can't tell what i need.

 

Thanks,

 

Fred
