Title: Need new dash bulbs.
Post by: RedMark on June 16, 2015, 09:15:17 PM

Anyone know what type of bulbs you need for the tachometer and high beam indicator?

Also, can you point me to a video showing how to disassemble the dash so I can get to them?

Thanks.

I contacted SBL and asked specifically if they offer any non-polarized 74 LED bulbs (necessary for the turn signal indicator on the cluster). The answer remains "no."

Since I don't want to go the diode/solder/heatshrink route, I'm keeping the indicators incandescent. Bummer.

I don't know whether a shaved down T10 will fit into the indicators; this might be viable since I believe there are nonpolarized T10 LEDs.

Well, original bulbs are T10...

I use/used the #194 bulbs available in most all auto parts and Walmart stores in both my 97 and 02 GSs. It makes the high beam indicator a bit brighter but that works for me. Use same in speedo, tach, and indicator lights.
