Gauge cluster light help!!

[pinkley]

Sense I have had this car (automatic) the only light that comes on when you have it in gear is D4. none of the others work (D3,2,1,ect.) when I have my headlights on non work. I pulled the cluster to check the bulbs and a few of them were blown and some didn't even have the bulb in it, just the plastic piece. My question is are the tiny bulbs and plastic piece one piece together. I pulled one of the blown bulbs out of the plastic piece and the wires in the bulb broke off inside. I've had to replace bulbs like this before but not the tiny ones Im having the issue with.

I can tell you that the bulb is separate from the plastic retainer. I am unsure the size of that bulb but you might be able to take it into Radioshack and compare it to some of the lamps in their drawers. They had the defroster/hazard switch lamps. Once you can confirm the size, you can either buy those or invest in some LEDs, which may last longer and will be brighter. If you want LEDs, you probably could just get a ruler to measure the size and use this page to find which one you need.

I actually went to radioshack and bought a pack of LEDs to see if it would work. It did but the bulbs I bought weren't real bright so I'm going to find what's best and go with that.

My father in law actually gave me the idea before you replied. Thanks though!
