Almost a month later, I can help. The lights from that site are fine. I think the ones I used were 6 bulb? The twist locks are kinda expensive though. My 79 Olds's dash is chock full of the same twist locks. If you can get to a wrecking yard I'm sure you could scrounge up pounds of the twist locks for near free.

the bulbs will pull out of your twist lock so far ive found anything 96 newer you can reuse anything 96 and prior have them soldered in. Im waiting on a ton of leds to arrive I can do cluster sets hvacs full int packages etc
