Instrument Cluster Lighting

Post by ChristopherB »

Good Morning All,

Got a quick question about my '72 instrument cluster ... replaced the lens, cleaned the gauges, thing looks awesome! Do any of you see an issue running the #168 bulbs (5W .35A) versus the factory installed #194 (4W .25A) ? I realize it doesn't seem like much, just don't want to cook my dimmer switch or melt that precious plastic bezel... Thanks a lot!

ALSO: Just looking to replace the two illumination bulbs with #168's, the turn signals, and dimmer light will remain #194's.
