jeremy Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 1. Remove guage cluster 2. Locate burnt bulb(s) 3. Remove burnt bulb(s) 4. Bring bulbs to parts store 5. Buy new bulb(s) 6. Install new bulb(s) 7. Reinstall guage cluster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutty Posted July 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 i have the bulbs out already, and i wasnt sure i could goto pepboys and pick them up, since they dont look like regular bulbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93GTP Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Yeah, they are those peanut bulbs (151's or something) with the special bases. I wasn't sure if I could get them at just any parts store when I replaced several of mine, so I went to the dealership. It wasn't too expensive either. There were also a couple in Dad's tool box from some old Fords and they were identical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runt Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Don't the bases just pull off and then you can push them onto the new bulb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutty Posted July 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 i have tried looks like they are one piece to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl3196 Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Are the they same type that are in my d.i.c? I was able to pull them out but it was a pain in the ass. I broke one bulb but I did get them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutty Posted July 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 not sure if they are the same or not, i tried pulling on the bulb pretty hard, but i didnt want to break it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl3196 Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 What I did was grab the base with pliers and put my shirt over the bulb, then just pulled really hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
