rojo412 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Hey, long time, no post! I just had to replace my radio and figured while I'm at it, replace the bulbs that go behind the heater/vent controls. They've been burnt out since I got the car, so now's as good a time as any. I have them out of the car, so I know how to do the work, but I just need to find the parts. Does anyone know where to source the bulbs themselves? Aside from raiding a Pull-A-Part wreck, that is. Or if anyone has a part number that I can search, at least? Any help is much appreciated. (It's a 98 GT, by the way, if that needed to be specified) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven1955 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Wow. I finally get to contribute. I replaced every bulb in the heater control and most of the lighted switches in our 99 OB with what are often called "grain of wheat" bulbs which I was able to get from my local Radio Shack. Typical of Radio Shack, what they are called keeps changing, and sometimes they are sold as 14 V bulbs and sometimes as 12 V bulbs. Radio Shack's current description is: 12 V Microlamps (2-Pack) Model 272-1092. Current price is $1.99 for the pack of two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdleg05 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Another source to try is Mouser Electronics. I have to replace several bulbs on the heater control as well as; and when I went to RS, they didn't have it in their parts drawers. So I'm getting ready to try Mouser..... here is URL http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Chicago-Miniature/7219/?qs=9GEuPTpyLriOqU65ySwVQ1BBcybxuIQc cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rojo412 Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 No joy at Radio Shack. They didn't have a bulb small enough. The dealership can order them... at $8.30 + tax each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
