Congrats, we have had posts with this in the past for W123 cars,also. Plan to do mine this winter (under cover) What was your source of LEDs (for the uninitiated) and were there any complications?

I had these leds for months, after this my interior will finally be fully converted to leds. For this application I could only find the leds from one source, I'll pm you the place (it'll get bleeped if I add it here).

The leds are a tight fit, I broke two already...so order extras.
Leds are polarized & because it's a tight fit, so not practical for trail & error installing. So I followed the wire diagram & using a meter to identify which is positive & negative on the circuit board 1st (see pic #3).

There are two types to choose from. Mine is B8.5D-WHP (cool white), so basically it's B8.5D + color of your choice. The voltage is 12V ofcourse.

But you better confirm if that's correct for your car....
