Post subject:  Gauge lighting..how do I change the bulbs?

The internal lighting for the three small gauges on the left side of my dash doesn't work. I have never had the dash off but I want to change the bulbs. Any suggestions how I go about this? Also where can I get the replacement bulbs. The car is a 72' Dart Swinger, /6 (naturally!)

The bulbs are mounted in twist-lock devices. Reach behind the dash and and you will feel the plastic blade-shaped holder for each bulb. Just twist it 1/8 turn counter-clockwise and remove. The bulbs are available at auto parts stores.

One thing to note is the original bulb you may be pulling has been superceded. I think they were 158's, you may find some old stock in some places, but the counter clerk will help you find the 'newer' model.

I believe they are 194's. Same as the side marker lights. :shock:

Thanks for the replys. Off to the auto store and I'll give that a shot.
