Replacing Instrument Cluster Bulbs
 
I once heard that "no question is a stupid question" so here it goes. I am replacing the bulb behind the dial with the clock. I had the one behind the speedometer replaced a year or so ago and hind sight being what it is, I should have had all three changed. I bought a service manual a while ago and this time I am doing it myself. Here is the stupid question part... is the bulb and the little tan colored socket for lack of a better word all one piece and you just replace it or does the bulb come out of the little tan socket and you just replace the bulb. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi, the bulb and Housing (Tan Socket) are 1 piece, the site below can be helpful.

Be careful when re-installing the cluster, it's very easy to make dents in the Dash.


Good luck :cheers:

Hi everybody!
Where could I order these bulbs, Pelican charge me 40$ for shipping which is ridiculously absurd!
Moreover the customer service is horrible!
Thank you!

Ok thank you!

But I don't want to change colour but simply replace some CEL lights that doesn't work.

I purchased both the tan and green tabbed bulbs from ********************************AZ. Give them a google search. Good luck.
