yes sir that is correct. and in my experience with these leds is bend the leads at the bottom outward just a little more so they get a perfect connection. I kept taking the dash apart in my OBS truck when i did the led conversion because I did not bend them out and over time they vibrated loose. once i bent the leads out they never gave issues. just a little foresight

Oh wow that'd be frustrating. Especially in the dash. I'll Probly order my licence bulbs tonight. Will update pics once it's all installed
