4" Tuff Country E-Z Ride Springs
and many many other mods

   Ok I got a lil problem here. I changed out all my cluster bulbs and
replaced them with new ones and sprayed the back of the face with chrome to
brighten things up a little bit.

   Well I found out why my bulbs were so dim-They were missing their
housings!!!
Damn damn damn damn....I went to tree junkyards today with no luck. I even
went to the GM dealer and he looked at me like I was from another planet, so
screw him.

   Anyone have any laying around they want to sell?? OR know where I can
get 3 of them? Maybe even a part number (GM guy couldn't come up with one).
I would like to get this done since my dash is in a million pieces and I
don't want to drive my other ride in the snow (Minivan).

   All they are is the little plastic housing that the bulb (194) fits
into. I really don't want to have to buy a brand new instrument cluster
either.  Thanks for all your help and for listening to my gripe!!

Housing?

The bulbs are permanently mounted in a 1/4 turn base. And screwed into the PCB of the cluster ( in my 95 at least). Are these the
bulbs you have?

Cheers
