    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

This has probably been covered but I'm too excited to search. :D
My tach and speedo seemed dim at night and I thought one bulb was burnt out. So bright guy here decides to dis-assemble, clean the bulbs and the contacts....well, out of 4 bulbs, I buggered 3 completely :o

So, I didn't bother putting them back in and off I go today to Napa.
The originals are 3 watts and I was dubious when I could only find 2 watt bulbs. Let me tell you, these 2 watters are FAR better than the ones I had in the cluster. Much brighter!
So....for those of you who need bulbs the (Canadian) part number is, 17131 (description, "miniature lamps").
Can't wait to take a ride in the dark. Whoohoo!
 
Old bulb is on the left, new bulb is on the right.

Nice. There was a thread about this recently, IIRC sources were listed for here in the States.
 
The original might have been a #53. :-k

I recognize it because that's the bulb I use in my test light. :D
