Depending on the type of bulbs you need, I used both of these. They work great, much brighter.

LBCarCo has them. Their website is not the easiest to use, but you can always give them a call. I think it's the E10 style bulbs that you would need. https://www.lbcarco.com/

I have LED's in all of the instruments in my Mini and Moke. Years ago, I went from the original 2.2w tungsten bulbs to 5w. That was enough of an improvement but once LED's came out I switched to them and that resulted in even greater improvement. No changes are necessary to the bulb sockets. I do not see where MM offers them so I feel okay telling you that I purchased mine from Moss at $5 each.

Has anyone replaced their Speedo lights with LED lights? If so, what did you use for bulb & holder? I have a classic Smiths Speedo in my MOKE.
thank you for your time.
