I bought the white version of these for my instrument cluster and they work great. Really bright. I am looking for a LED replacement for the tiny T1 3/4 bulbs on the shifter and ash trays. The only ones I find are showing 1 lumen output. Whereas the old incandescent bulbs range from 4 - 9 lumens. I don't want to reduce brightness. I want more.
Has anyone found a suitable LED replacement for the T1 3/4 bulbs?

Try https://www.superbrightleds.com
I got some from them, cannot recall which but some were for the ashtray and I thought they were pretty good.------------------
Anything I might say is probably worth what you paid for it, so treat it accordingly!

Thanks, ltlfrari. Although I did not purchase there, that link helped me understand what I needed. Here is what I ended up purchasing. 3 leds on top and 4 on the sides.
As far as I can tell these little buggers are only used in the heater, auto shift indicator, ashtray, and radio. Is this correct?

I have replaced my courtesy lights and over head lights with a soft white LED and I did my ash tray lights with red and used the ones mentioned above. I have had no issues at all so far. I am leaving the dash lighting because I do dim my dash down a bit and I have never had great luck with dimming LEDs. I have been trying to find an LED light for my Notchie trunk, but so far I have had no luck? Mine gets super hot after a very short time.
Does anyone know where I might find a light that has an on and off switch on it that would fit without having to cut the hole bigger? I have been looking at stuff when I am at the pull-a-part junk yard and haven't had any luck yet.

For trunk lights...
Could use various LED strips "hidden" by trunk seal on latch side. Just unplug OE bulb and add wires under carpet.
(W/o trunk light option from factory, have to wire to C500 for most years.)
This can give a lot of light to all of trunk w/o putting light "in your eyes" like Fiero OE light can.
Plus still have light w/ stuff filling the trunk that's burring the OE bulb.
Don't need "high power" strips that need "heat sinks." These are mainly made for signs etc w/ metal they attach to.[This message has been edited by theogre (edited 06-10-2020).]

My car is a GT. This is what I just bought off Amazon. It has no switch. It slips right in to replace the incandescent and is very bright. Should have no issues with heat.
