Subject: [DeTomaso] Fwd: Re: BRIGHTER BULBS FOR THE TACH & SPEEDO

Mike Drew was nice enough to direct me to Sylvania 2825 (w5w) bulbs.
Unfortunately I was unable to find that bulb. However, NAPA has a cross
reference number that works just fine. The NAPA number is LMP 17177. This
bulb is working just fine in all the stock gauges in my car. They aren't
"bright" but they are much better then stock. I was charged $.98 each and
smile at night now. Your milage may very...hope this helps some.

My center gauges use the same bulbs. I was able to find the Sylvania bulbs at Autozone. Much brighter than the OEM 3w bulbs.

Thanks Mike but I'm looking to go all LED's, both in the tach and Speedo along with the center gauges. When I pulled the center gauges they had round base bulbs unlike the BA9s that are stab-ins which everyone has recommended. This confused me so I thought I would ask.

Mine were all the same push in style. Maybe the gauges and / or wiring in your car has been changed from oem?
