Can someone please tell find me the part number for the bulb that lights up the orange/red (1991) gel filter on top of the instrument cluster?

The needles for my fuel and volt guage are not illuminated. When I look underneath, the right side gel filter is not illuminated. If I recall correctly, this bulb illuminates the right side gel filter which the fuel and volt needles reflect from. Is this correct?

Are these bulb dealer only? Or can I get them at a local Napa?

Is it #33 on this diagram? If so, what is the part number? I think the bulb connects to #19 assembly.

I found another picture from another thread. Its the two front bulbs. It is not the one with the wire.

I just went to the dealer and they said that they think the light bulb comes with the illumination assembly. But they were not 100% certain.

The only problem is the illumination has been discontinued. They can not order it.

Does anyone have this spare bulb from a non-working cluster you can give or sell me?

Thanks.
 
Here is the data for item# 1,3,4,8

#1 35505-SA5-003 SOCKET ASSY., BULB (14V 1.4W) (BASE:BLACK)
#3 37102-SA5-003 BULB & SOCKET (14V3.4W) (NS)
#4 37103-SL0-003 BULB & SOCKET ASSY. (BASE:GREEN)
#8 37237-SA5-003 BULB (12V3.4W2CP) (158) (NS)


#8 is the little bulb at the end of the wire.

#1,3,4 are the other bulbs in the cluster. It is a little hard to tell exactly which is which. I suspect you may need #8 if you want to replace the bulb with the wire assembly pictured above, or #3 or #4 if it is a bulb that mounts into the gauge cluster PC board. (#4 look closest to the gauge, but again it is hard to tell).

HTH,

the bulb you need is also used in mits 3000gt gauge clusters. that's where i got mine from. i think they were toshiba brand? can't remember, but they were exactly the same. ...i might even have some left out in the shed if you don't find it anywhere else.

and yes, you are correct. the needles just reflect this light. mine was the left one, but they are the same.

I was able to find a replacement bulb from Napa. I took the bulb out from the black socket housing and replaced it with a 74 bulb. Thats what Napa called the bulb. It is a 5V bulb. It is slightly longer and a little bigger, but it fits in the socket.

For some odd reason the left side bulb still doesn't work and I get a blown bulb with the replacement. The right side work fine with the replacement bulb.

I ran out of sunlight, so I gave up and put everything back together with one blown bulb. I'll look further into why the left side doesn't work some other time.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but has anyone found replacement LED bulbs for the instrument panel? If so, can you provide a link to them? Thanks!
