As the subject is 65-66 Chrysler LEDs, perhaps I can hijack for a bit for everyone's benefit? (and ironically, right at 1 year from when you started this topic)
I was doing some fiddling in my stash of LEDs to see if I could make a good combination with a spare cluster I have.
I went thru the various types/colors I had available, hooking them up with jumper wires and seeing how they looked.
The types I chose are placed next to the holes they'll go into. These look pretty good considering I'm breaking 'the color rule' - wherein you should use an LED with the same color as the lens.
The bullet-shaped ones at the lower-left for the hot and cold lights are these, in green:
Amazon product ASIN B08R5VG5T1
The others with the 5 LED chips are no longer available, but here is the item description to steer toward similar ones:
So - all are the 5-chip type except for 2 going into the hold/cold lights.
The oil pressure LED (RH corner) was making a bit of a bright spot thru the lens so I stretched 2 color-covers over it and it helped a bit. This type of LED actually makes some heat, not ideal for the covers, but the O.P. light shouldn't be on that much anyway. A red 360deg without the 5th chip would be better - but I didn't have one. And although LEDs have gotten super-cheap, spending $10 on a batch of 10 just to get one I need seems silly.
I do think I will get a newer type of the 5-chips, though, I think these are around 100lumens and I want them a little brighter. They seem like they are barely good enough, but I won't really know until they are in the car. I found some at 300 lumens, and I have one of the touchbutton dimmers I showed above, so if 300 is too much I can use the dimmer. I actually want to use the dimmer now and then...
