[DeTomaso] LED bulbs for gauges

[David & Marilyn Bell]

I have WLED-WHP (wedge-8) bulbs from SuperBright LEDs in all my instruments.
These bulbs are more 'white' than others I've tried which tend more on the
bluish side.  The tach and speedo have two extra bulbs each (part of a local
group purchase and install during a Space City Panteras tech session).  The
extra bulbs are a screw-in base and have also been converted to SuperBright
BA9s-x-WV LED bulbs.  All the instruments are nicely illuminated, but the
extra bulbs in the tach and speedo really make a difference.

The only LED downside is that the instrument light reostat on the dash
turned into a two position switch with LED bulbs.  The instrument lights are
either off or full on.

Also, I did all the LED bulb research and sourcing four or five years ago so
my part numbers may be out of date.

While I was installing my LED light kit from John Taphorn (AWESOME kit,
BTW), I thought I would upgrade the turn signal indicator bulb as well.
I ordered bulb 74-WHP from superbrightleds.com, but that turns out to be
quite a bit smaller than the bulb I needed. Has anyone ordered the
correct bulb from this place and, if so, would you please tell me the
model number? And are these smaller bulbs good for anything on my
Pantera? Console gauge lights, perhaps? They are described as "Mini
Wedge Base".
