I took my bulb assembly to Napa and for a few bucks I got new bulbs and plastic bulb holders.

'89 uses those blade type halogens, '84-'88 use the bi pin style. Sounds like they sent you the wrong ones.
This is an 882

FWIW, The 882's are very bright AND develop a lot of heat in the process.
After repairing my cluster, I converted the lites to the 194's.
These are not as bright, but very legible in day light.
Cheaper to replace, and easier to find.

Here are the facts:
From 84 to 88 Delphi installed a halogen lamp assembly, in 89 they used a Stanley Xenon lamp because the light tubes were melting in the clusters. All clusters from 89 forward, when serviced, should switch to the Xenon lamp & socket. FWIW 194's will short out the power supply, as they draw too much power, The newspaper is also a BAD idea.

so much info in this thread, what to choose?
So, Ken- what would you suggest for replacement in '84-'88 clusters?
