Hi all, I’m up grading my gauge cluster lite to leds. Apparently GM used two types of twistlok sockets in there gauge clusters On there 1995 silverados. All the one I can find won’t work because the electrical contacts are 90 deg. to the locking tabs on the socket mine are about 30 deg. see pic,s won’t make contact. Also the bulb can’t be replaced you have to replace the bulb and socket together. Can’t find just the sockets I need Help!!!

Hope those are dimmable LEDs, otherwise you will have only two brightnesses as you turn the dimmer. Full on until the voltage drops below the LEDs emittance voltage, then Off.
