Default 84 speedometer

Hey guys. The display on my dash is not lighting up like it should. Well actually it's only the Spedo. side. All the other guages and Tach work fine. The LED's seem to work just fine. I just can not see them that well. When I bought the car the previous owner told me all I needed was to replace the cluster bulbs. I didn't think much of it art the time but now that doesn't make sence. Lightbulbs for a LED ddisplay? Could that be true? If anyone knows about this please let me know.

Thanks

David

There are 4 882 halogen bulbs in the cluster, here's a link that might help.

You can get the 882 bulbs at NAPA about $9.00 each. Once you get the cluster out be very careful seperating the two boards which you will have to do to get at the bulbs and socket out on oil pressure side. If your sockets are good you do not need to take the cluster out but can take the bulbs out after removing the face plate with a small plyers. Go easy with this unit. Its delicate and expensive to replace . There are instructions on this web site under digital dash that are a must before you start.
