Regarding old post, finally found bulb... 1 vs 1.2 watt Posted by bender [Email] (#268) [Profile/Gallery] (more from bender) on Sat, 21 May 2011 11:07:47 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I can find the 1.2 watt for the dashboard (sylvania 2721, same exact dimension as the "74" bulb) but the one that was originally there, the "74" bulb was a 1 watt. I presume that the difference is negligible...and that if I change them all, or most of them on the speedo, I won't be able to tell the difference, or make use of the dimmer switch.
So, for future reference in this amazing pool of knowledge, for the OG9-3 and the 9-5 (up to a certain year, I think some even use LEDs soldered onto the circuit board), instead of purchasing the whole bulb assembly (with plastic base) for 7 or so bucks, you can get the Sylvania 2721 bulb. To pull it out, you tape the bulb with electrical tape and pull it out of the socket.
