(12 Volt) I believe the bulbs are the same bulb as what is used to light the fuel gauge and speedometer.

thanks for the link, but thats just the bulb. I need a setup. Like the turn indicator. I think i found them through EMPI, but i need one for the oil temp light. Its a custom dash, and the VGO gauge is in. Right next/above is the wiring for the light. Its a drilled hole with the wires ready to be crimped onto the lamp. I need to find the lamp. ~Peace~Justin

I think you mean the socket not the lamp as the lamp is the bulb.

Sorry for the name change. I posted in another group and change my name.

Nope, they are the "holder" for the bulbs. For the dash mounted one, you need the mounting thingy (sorry, can't name it), motor factors nearly always sell these though.

It appears that the 9371-74 clip into a round hole of a proper size. It appears that the 9375-78 have a nut instaed of a clip that hold it in a hole of a proper size.

Either should work. But you need to check with the company selling them if you can not see them yourself before ordering.

Radio Shack or any chain autoparts store should also have something you could use.

The British name for the place that you go and buy all your car parts/accessorys from :-) Don't know what the American equivalent is.

Yes. That's the thing I was talking about! Should come with the bulb all in, ready to go.

Oh, and check the law on the colours too... In the UK, they have to be green on post 1964 cars.
