I have been trying to track down this Casco power socket with clear bezel

for about a year, no luck so far:

I believe that the GoWesty bulb socket mentioned earlier will fit into it with modification. Use with the #74 Led bulbs:

I have looked and looked, but this is elusive. May be best to identify which newer cars have that and order from a dealer instead?

I've installed superbright LEDs in the instrument cluster, above the driver's door, and in the light in the camper section of my westy...does anyone know which (if any) of the superbright LED festoons can be used as a replacement for the small light above the glove box in front of the passenger seat??? Thanks.

3022. I prefer warm white but order whatever color you ordered for the overhead light. A small dab of solder will hold it in the position that you need it.

Maybe I missed it, but is there a good replacement for the flourescent that's in my '86 weekender?
I don't mind it too terribly, but if there's something that uses less power and looks decent, then I'd go for it.

thanks!

I would like to replace as many interior lights with LEDS that I can but have some unanswered questions.

So as I understand.

The 4 'B8.3D-BHP' for the instrument cluster requires no mods they are direct replacement. Driver's side overhead light no mods, the '4210whp3' - 3 or 6 light will fit but requires soldering to hold it in place.

Are the other locations 'mini wedge 74w' direct replacement or do the require some modding?
Specifically,
Defrost switch
Hazard switch

Also,

Did anyone ever figure out if I need to buy that extra part for the Environmental Controls?
Glove box map light (what size)?

Cluster: B8.3D (four of them total, direct plug-and-play)

Courtesy light: 4210 festoon (no soldering needed in mine; fits and stays just fine)

Map light: 3022 festoon

Kitchen light: 4210 festoon

Here's a pic of the std light in the middle and the LEDs on each side. Much brighter.

I certainly do not have any flourescent bulbs in my 86 Westy, its 3 small incandescent bulbs in that.
