Ok I got a lil problem here. I changed out all my cluster bulbs and replaced them with new ones and sprayed the back of the face with chrome to brighten things up a little bit.



Well I found out why my bulbs were so dim-They were missing their housings!!! Damn damn damn damn....I went to tree junkyards today with no luck. I even went to the GM dealer and he looked at me like I was from another planet, so screw him.



Anyone have any laying around they want to sell?? OR know where I can get 3 of them? Maybe even a part number (GM guy couldn't come up with one). I would like to get this done since my dash is in a million pieces and I don't want to drive my other ride in the snow (Minivan).



All they are is the little plastic housing that the bulb (194) fits into. I really don't want to have to buy a brand new instrument cluster either. Thanks for all your help and for listening to my gripe!!


Housing?

The bulbs are permanently mounted in a 1/4 turn base. And screwed into the PCB of the cluster ( in my 95 at least). Are these the bulbs you have?

Cheers

I have bought several hard to find interior parts from this website
