Winter projects - LED lighting
I'm looking for opinions on my selection of LED lights to fix the failed and/or dim bulbs both on the dash and tail.
Rear Tail Light bulbs
Rear Brake Light bulbs
Rear Running Light bulbs
Gauge Cluster (Green) bulbs
I think I've selected the appropriate bulb type in LED, does this look right? Anyone else do LED and run into issues? I know theres one warning light on the cluster that MUST be incandescent or the warning function won't operate due to polarity or something like that. I'm not changing the smaller warning lights at this time.

Hello Vancouver
Rear running lights - are these above the number plates? I have always could them number plate lights, another boot,trunk thing. If they are - they look right
Rear brake lights - mine are (approx) 50mm high (15mm bayonet)
Rear running lights - a lot shorter that the brake lights -(approx) 38mm high (15mm bayonet). These only just fit in.
So based on that - should fit good. There are so many different options out there.
You did not mention the turn indicators, but you might not be like us Aussies who have a dedicated orange turning lamp - these have smaller diameter bayonets
PS - my lower section of the light housing was a bit corroded - so I place Aluminium tape, to get the reflective propertise back
Cheers

Hello again
Firstly, a bit of misinformation above - both the upwards and downwards bulbs are the same length. My memory had the downward one a shorter length, my wife's memory had them the same length. After discussion, my wife was right. The smaller length one is the one on the edge, which is my driving light.
Anyway - here are the links to the bulbs
