A new LED question
«

I bought the suggested LED bulbs for the pilot lights and speedometer. The replacement of the pilot lights went well...took 3 minutes total. Next I took the headlight out and pulled the neutral bulb out of the speedometer, pulled the bulb out and......damn, its a wedge base bulb.
Not the BA9s bulb

.... has anyone with a 2012 C5 replaced their speedometer bulbs with LEDs? What bulb did you use? I found this one

any ideas?
again... I have a 2012 and after doing my research, watching the youtube video on how to do the swap and also attempting it myself it is safe to say that the 2012 speedometer uses the wedge based bulbs....

Sounds like another continuous improvement stealth upgrade.

Let's see if they'll work. I guess I don't mind figuring this out for the 2012 owners.

For what it's worth to any 2012 Bullet owner the below link is the correct LED bulbs for your speedometer. There are a wedge base bulb not the BA9s bulb that previous years use.
trial and error, youre welcome.

the 2012s use wedge base bulbs in just the speedometer or the neutral and turn signal as well?
