Title: Dash light bulb???
Post by: "Irish" on August 10, 2020, 11:10:25 pm
I cannot see what size bulb goes in our 99 U270 dash gauges. I do not want to get a bulb that is too hot and would damage the gauge housing. Cannot read/ find the size/ model.
Looks about the same as my side marker bulbs.
Anyone got a packet with a model number on it?
Thanks

I bought all LED bulbs from Lauderdale Speedometer when I replaced my speedo. They are nice and bright.
