RE: interior light replacement

["Dan Snow" <danws@tampabay.rr.com>]

yes, BUT, you can only get bulbs that are *close* to the right size at most
auto parts places. I got the smallest GE size lights I could find, then I
ground down the sides at the bottom to make it fit. It *barely* does.

I wound up going to, of all places, the DEALER and got some. They're not
cheap, but they are the right ones and they come in that bracket. 'Cause if
you've noticed, the leads for the electricity are wired through the casing,
and technically all one piece.

Subject: interior light replacement


i think just about every interior light i have doesn't work, the
environmental control panel, the oil temp guage, the ashtray, the cigarette
lighter, etc.  I tried to replace some yesterday, but the old bulbs are
soldered to the socket.  Is there anyway to replace just the bulbs without
soldering, or can you somehow get the hole socket?  Can Potterman get these?
Its really started to bug me that the only thing lit up at night is my radio
and the cluster light above my speedo.  (i have the cluster bulbs i got from
potterman, i just have to put them in)
TIA
