Instrument cluster bulb question
 
Anyone happen to know what bulb I need for a light on my instrument cluster? One is out on my 2006 XLT and I would like to replace it.

Thanks

Should be a size 74 bulb - that's the size I bought when I replaced my dash lights with led bulbs.

Thanks Fireman137...got it working.

For future reference. the correct bulb/lamp for the instrument cluster is a #74. The backlight for my odometer cluster was out and a new #74 fixed it. Very simple procedure to change.

If I remember correctly, you will need 11 bulbs for the cluster lighting. There are also some soldered led lights in there, but I didn't want to mess with that. Just remember, you will still will have the green color in the cluster. Only way to resolve that is to remove the cluster, the needles and the cluster face and sand down the overlay at various places. There is an article on this in the 'how to' section, I think :fyi:

I can appreciate what you're selling, but I swapped all of mine to LEDs for only a couple dollars. Plus, you're just bumping really old threads.

He asked that question 11 years ago, I'd assume it's been taken care of, if he even still has the truck.
