LCD display on my 87
Hi
I have a question for those who understand the LCD displays on the 87's.
This car is brand new to me and when I drove it home I noticed that 1/2 of the display was not lit. The functions were working but no light. What type of light source is in the displays module ? bulbs ? EL panels ? Any help would be appreciated.
Happy Easter to all on the list.

Here's another good link to help with the dash lights.

Its probably just one bulb the way you described it, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to replace all 4 considering they're all probably the same age.

Re: LCD display on my 87 (rick lambert)
about the "dont have to remove the cluster" thing- he might have to. I recently bought new bulbs for mine. WHile I didnt have to take it apart to get the old ones out- my new bulbs came with the litttle plastic "mount" permanently attached. Requiring disassembly to install the new ones.

Re: LCD display on my 87 (SBNova)
I cant seem to find any 882 bulbs locally. My local Chev dealer says that the L94 bulb is what is now called out in their parts list. Do you know if the L94 is a direct replacement ?
By the way, thank you very much for the tips.
Happy Easter

I found some at Wally-World. 'bout 6 bucks a piece. Everywheres else they run almost ten. Check the net, always a deal out there in cyberspace. :thumbs:
