Default Gauge Light out
Before I did anything thought I would ask in here.

Last night my voltmeter gauge light went out. Does anyone here know what the fix is?

1. Part number?

2. Is there an LED replacement option available so I would not have to go thru this again?

Thanks
Dru

Each gauge has its own light bulb. You just change the bulb.

Replace all 4 globes in the 2 inch gauges and they should be the same

They're 194's
Try here for an LED replacement. WLED-WW5 is suppose to be a good color match for a white incandescent bulb. I swapped out all mine for them but in red. The 5 in the part number is for the number of LEDs on the bulb. You need that one for full light spread in the gauge.

Swapped mine out also for red, to bad the tach and speedo bulbs are sealed inside.
What the heck are you supposed to do when the bulb goes out?? Buy a new gauge? Stupid!

Haven't had to do it yet but I agree with changing all 4 bulbs cuz the new one is bound to be a wee bit brighter or dimmer than the others which would be irritating to the eye.
