Default Light Bulb Socket

Does anyone know where to buy a new socket for (C3) Light Bulb #194.
It goes behind the instrument cluster.
Thanks b

Hi Bugz,
If you're asking about the typical socket for the many lights that clip into the back of the speedo, tach, and center gauge bezel, I find local auto part stores have them. They're black instead of gray and have a pig-tail that needs to be crimped onto the existing wire after you've cut the old socket off.
Regards.,
Alan

Are you talking about the socket that the 194 bulb slips into and goes on the back of the instrument cluster to light up the gauges? If so, and you can't find one I have a half dozen extra that I coud send you.

You started this thread asking for a socket and now you say you have one. Perhaps you need to wait for the AIM page you asked for before you attempt any more 'blind' work?
When you get it and can review it then maybe ask some clearer, specific questions.
