Need a light socket count

[MikeCfromTX]

Have any of you replaced all the instrument cluster sockets. Are the clock, guages, turn signal ones all the same. Car is a 1954 sedan. I'm replacing the harness and kinda need a count. I'm in the hospital and have no way to count them. But need to order them.

Thanks guys.

Are you restoring it to stock or making it a custom? Since I converted to 12 volt and rewired I replaced them with blue LED's to match the interior.

I'm keeping stock guages etc. But my stock instrument bulb sockets need replacing. I thought about switching to led bulbs. But is there alot of extra wiring to run leds

you can add led bulbs to your existing sockets and I think they are the same except for the color leads the led's should work with the 6 volt system

The metal part of the sockets are usually OK but the old cloth wiring is shot,Autozone has the replacement "pigtails" in stock. No changes needed if you use these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/20x-White-L...NEW-/191226911235?hash=item2c86031a03&vxp=mtr

Damn I'm gonna run led then. 20 for 4.99. Lol. Do they make other led replacements for the other bulbs through out the car? Thanks for the heads up on the sockets too. I found them for 5.00 each online but like you said the metal shells are good.

$5 each? Mine were less than $2 at Autozone If you are converting from 6 volt bulbs to 12 volt save this chart: http://www.flatheadv8.org/6to12bulb.htm To look up an LED bulb in ebay put "LED bulb followed by the number you need from the chart in the Search box.

Thank you jeff! I went by napa and they had everything I needed. I went there instead of autozone because I've bought parts for my 54 there before. I just never thought of looking for the socket repair parts there.
