The '67 owners manual says they're 1895

so if the dash bulbs are in fact a 1895 then thats the same as a 57 bulb but i cant find either of those in LED. i know someone must have done this swap. please let me know. thanks

The following is a thread that started out talking about tachometers and then got into LED dash lights. It may have some helpful info.

ordered mine here http://www.whitegauges.net/products_list.php?catID=4550

there are two different options on bulb types towards the bottom make sure to specify what type 1895 or 194 and how many as well as color

you dont want single points either 4 point is the minimum.

This place also has white overlays for the gauges that several people have done here myself included if you want pictures i can post some

yeah pictures would be good. the super bright leds website doesn't have the 1895 bulbs, at least i couldn't find them which isn't saying much.

according to that website they are 194 bulbs. hmm well i think im jsut gonna tear my dash apart and find out for sure what i have.

No, the 194s are the newer slide in type. You'll need the style that are listed below the 194s.

ok got it figured out. the general electric number for the dash bulbs in a 67 is 1895 but the measurements are the exact same as the BA9 bulb.

I put the white gauges in my '69. I like how they turned out:

Pics are a bit fuzzy, I had a cr*ppy camera back then.

oh wow i looked at those and didnt think they would fit but i guess its just a different trim form 67 to 69 because the guts of your gauges look the same as mine. i might have to look into that.

by the way i just ordered my bulbs so ill post up pics as soon as i get em in.
