1989 Digital Dash soldered bulbs?
1989 Digital Dash soldered bulbs?
What bulbs do these take? They are the small soldered type, can you buy the sockets and bulbs anymore or do I need to put strip lights in it or something? Three of the 4 bulbs are burned out. I believe the car is 6/89 build date?

try pc74 for small bulbs and pc168 for larger bulbs. I don't have a digital dash so this is a guess.

Here is a snippet of the thread where we last discussed this on the Board:

Markings on the bottom of the smaller-type bulb 'socket' says "12V 3W ALBA", so obviously 12-volt 3-watt to start with. Socket hole is ~3/8" diameter, plus the little tab-holes on either side. Interestingly, the original bulbs are soldered to the socket's contact-tabs. The plastic of the socket is really brittle from heat and age on mine, obviously. I searched a little, and found nothing comparable. You could TRY a PC37, it might fit, but it won't be bright enough. If you can solder, you could either direct-solder some 194 bulbs to the socket-rail in the cluster, OR install some LED strip-lights along the bottom instead.
Also seems to be 37/73 So you were correct before with the 73 and are still correct with the 37

Tried bulbs with sockets that were listed as: T5 73 74 3528 and they didn't work, just a tad too small and didn't reach the contacts on the digital dash (circuit board?)

10 Instrument Panel Light Bulb CML 71113A3LF(PC74 / Dorman 639-008)
These do work, the led versions from Amazon were wrong socket size despite listing 74 as compatible.
