Try these, they work in mine.

Years ago, I bought the ebay new circuit boards, built a small wire harness with a ground wire to each light/gauge, welded a stud to the firewall or dash, and grounded my new harness to that.
Replaced the bulbs with Sylvania or whatever I bought.
Not in your retina bright, but bright as I'll ever need.

Cleaned/painted the tail light housings, put in 3496 bulbs, have never replaced.
I use them for all tail lights, more $ than 1157 but none have ever gone out.

That...is brilliant!

Do they need additional resistors or anything?
No additional resistors needed. I left my front turn signals as incandescent, so I didn’t even need to change the flasher. The turn signals work the same.

On the dash lights, no resistors needed. I am old and like my dash lights bright, so they are usually at full brightness anyway.
 
Here is what My cluster looks like with white face overlays I also did My heater a/c with white overlay and I used green led's but I used the led that has 3panels and they are a lot briter than the ones with the 4 around the sides and 1 on top I tried them 1st and not as bright

I only have them in the cluster illumination. The blinkers,high beam indicator,the brake and oil warning still have the regular glass i think its a 194
