Bulbs In Speedometer

[laxguy86]

About a year and a half ago I bought a Fiat speedometer that I took out of a fiat convertible at a junkyard. I bought it with the intent to convert it to a clock and I am finally doing so. My question is, Does anyone know what type of bulbs are used to illuminate the dial and sit behind the speedometer? I have the bulbs but some are burnt out. I'd like to buy new bulbs but have no idea what to buy or where to buy them.

Unfortunately, I no longer recall what model or year (70s?) the car was. I can post photos of the speedometer and the bulbs later tonight if it will help.

Thanks a ton for your help, and if I end up making this work I'll post some photos of the project when its done.

Thanks

take the bulbs to a motor factors they usually have most bulbs in stock and sell them cheaply. or at least point you in the right direction.

or replace the bulbs with 12 Volt diffused LED's just solder them into the holder
