    Well roadmaster caprice etc tech. I need to know how many bulbs are in the instrument cluster? Just the ones for the gauges etc, not for the idiot lights etc...
    I'm gonna do an LED upgrade like I did on my '88 GMC truck. I have found the bulbs for a good price but don't know how many to buy.

    Wow Olds, there are some real well let's just say pieces of work over there! I get some jack ass being a jerk to me and I speak up and then a Mod tells me I should have done something different. I point out the hypocrisy along with the rule the original jack ass violates and the entire thread gets deleted! Guess they have enough members already! There are some good guys though but if that's how the mods play I don't know how much time I'll be spending there.

    I checked the Napa computer for you but it doesn't give a definitive answer. That would be one to maybe ask the local dealer.

    Hey Dewey I appreciate you looking but I did get the answer. It takes 6- 194 bulbs.

    I had the same experience, and were not the only ones either. After having several problems I vowed never to go on that site again.

    Hi Ulyses, I didn't have such bad luck, and I'm not a troublemaker either, but I did get vibes there myself. I won't be asking any questions of them.

    To me, THIS is the station wagon site to be on.

    Well there was one main problem there but then the unre4sponsive moderator who didn't like having the rules pointed out to him just compounded things.

    It would be funny if it weren't so sad.

    Sorry it didn't go so good over on the longroof site for ya, but your right, there are a few hat racks over there. I'm partial to the longroof site personally, but the guys here seem to be a "bit" less abrasive. Good luck with the dash lights.
