I installed the BA9 Green LED's fro the dash lights. Really nice, I love those.
As for relays, this looks interesting for my project car:

I bet @Roadman could build you something clean for the headlight relays that would hide behind the headlight

  Thats a nice looking Ron Frances setup, but WOW $300.00.  My panels wouldn't be that fancy  :rofl: . Also I'm not into that blue tooth, remote stuff. Just basic custom built relay panels, very affordable.   :rebelflag"

 I used these.. https://www.google.com/search?q=Ba9s+W6W+5050+5SMD+LED&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-US:IE-Address&ie=&oe=     
I bought blues and greens. For me personally, with a blue housing lens and using a green LED, the color I felt looks just right. I actually have to turn down the dash light dimmer now.  :worship: They just barely fit into the holes in the light panel so you might have to use some emery or something to round out the hole just a very little. Also, use some dielectric grease on them. It don't take much to twist the LED loose from the base.  Buy extras, just in case.

Can you let me know what dimmable LED bulbs you used?  Your link in your post only gives the results of a google search.  How well did the bulbs you bought/used fit into the socket? Are they loose, or tight.

I bought the dash "kit" from Herb's Parts. They all fit AOK and dimmable.

The web site does not say they do.
I just tried it on my Cuda and they do dim.

Hey. I saw on this site https://headlightsize.com/ other sizes of light bulbs. I think whether to put these?)
