[DeTomaso] LED bulbs for gauges

[Christopher Kimball]

It' been so long since I replaced my bulbs I can't remember what kind of base they have--do you think they would work in my after-market guages that just have the standard cylindrical base that pushes in to the socket which then pushed into the back of the gauges?
