Default Re: Instrument Panel Light

A single filament bulb with two contacts has one contact supplying power and the other grounded. Take your ohm meter and see if one contact is grounded and one hot. Search for a bulb that matches the contact configuration with the low candlepower that abachman3 recommended. Check the pins on the sides too. For a single filament bulb with two contacts the pins should be equal in height and not offset. LED bulbs are available from Superbrightleds.com and others.
