I have disassembled the rear marker lights and now need to replace the bulbs and the gaskets. Which LED bulbs will fit?
I have a new set of LED lights on the front curtesy of John Heslinger (thanks John) and the rear ones are the real 1973 vintage, glass and base plates are fine just needs bulbs to fit.
Ideas?

Just a minor point, but LED lights are frequency specific. For a Red lenses, you must use red LEDs. White LEDs are a mix of other colors, there is no single led junction that produces white. The red lenses will act as a filter and block most of the visible spectrum from a white led.
Choose red LEDs, they are everywhere.

Correct. Red for rear. Amber for front. I have amber LED's in the rear side markers. It passes through the red lens well enough but has an obvious amber tinge.
