I'm using Sylvania's LEDriving LED bulbs in my 75 Lemans dash for the illuminating positions. Direct replacement for the 194 and 168's. Unlike most LED bulbs with their cubic look, these Sylvania's are very similar in appearance to the original bulbs. Much brighter and easier to see now. And being made by Sylvania, I believe they'll be long lasting. They are more expensive, but it's been worth it to me.

I use the square led bulbs in my 73 GTO & love them. They are so much brighter & i have them in my hood tach to which I can now see with no problems at night now. I could always see my dash & hood tach lights but with the new led square bulbs I can see them without any concerns , I can see them while driving in town with all the big lights on in the cities.
