Gauge lamps

[tknight]

Anyone ever seen lamps like this been searching for them only seen Em at international dealers for 12.00 each I need to replace most of them numbering 12 due to discoloration and dim dash lights all around currently burnt out 6 of them fuel air oil water most of the speedo and tack are out as well there has to be a better source than the dealer!
Figure if I'm going to take the whole thing apart i might as well replace all of them

Not leds

Does that bulb pull out of the white plastic ? Like 1194?

 

[tknight]

No it's fixed and way smaller than a normal lamp its base is a twist and turn right into the circuit board it's like a small raisin in size

I've replaced similar types in Chev instrument clusters. Auto Zone or other parts stores sometimes can match them up.

I've tried all the parts stores I've come across no ones ever seen Em guess I'll have to plunk down a big chunk to get Em at the dealership

 

[Turtle]

Get the part number and do Google searches for that.

 

[tknight]

No part number on it and international has their own number for it, which is their in house part number tried that already

 

[neilblack]

I would try Superbrightleds.com

Truck bone yard would be worth a try

Thought of that they just want to sell the whole cluster not take it apart to get lamps out of it I took one apart took over an hour to get it apart and another to put it together again not for the weak at heart

I did find them 8.45 each out of stock and no idea if they will get them back ..... Just gonna have to pay the price at the dealer
Here's the part nber2506796C1

I did find them 8.45

I just googled the part number and found 3 at 9.60

 

[tknight]

I found the same 3 but I want at least 12 3 just do the tach ! It's a pain to keep taking it in and out haas frail little wires everywhere !

There's no reason LEDs couldn't go in there, that I know of. The polarity just has to be correct.

Another recommendation for superbrightleds.com.

You might have to graft a LED to your existing base.

They are available in different colors, too.

Greasy even though I work with electronics the thought crossed thru my mind , these are so small I don't think I could melt the solder in that little connector without melting er although I might be able to go directly to the board but the traces are so very small wish I could practice on a dead one before I destroy the original but It has its possibilities
I don't relish the thought of doing a total strip down of this assembly and installing 12 or more leds
