instrument cluster lights question

[2kids]

Where do you get the plastic holders (fixtures) that the instrument cluster light bulbs fit into and then screw into the back of the instrument cluster??

And what wattage are those little bulbs - can't read it on mine!

1971 Dart

You might try contacting Senior member RedFish. I think he either has some or knows where you can get them. He does a great job reconditioning dash gauges.

ROCKAUTO!!! thats where I got mine from, although I ordered the ones for a 74 duster and they were the wrong ones, apparently I have a 74 with a 73 dash as the ones for a 73 worked fine, I got 2 in a box for like 3.99 or something like that, they were cheap.

412 Stroker is correct. RockAuto is a great place to find stuff cheap. Easy to find everything they have available if you enter your make and model number.

Normally Napa just has them off the shelf for cheap.

Napa has the sockets and I use 194's in mine instead of the 168's. You can buy a 10 pack of the 194's for about the same price as the 2 bubble pack of 2.
