Hey, anyone know a cheap place I can buy an extra bulb housing for these little instrument guage warning lights (like the check engine light)? They say "Toshiba V - 2" on them.

Yeah, just found out I'm a sucker for fraud. Bought my 96 used a year ago. Just drove it to Georgia and had an emisions check to get a tag for it. Didn't pass. Turns out my check engine light has been on for a while now. How long, I have no idea. Why didn't I notice it? Well, the bulb housing has been removed from the instrument panel. I'll never see it when there is no bulb there! So I figure when the dealership sold me the car, rather than fix the problem, they'd take the bulb out and I'd be none the wiser. And I wasn't. Bastards!

Luckily, the engine trouble code that failed the emmisions test doesn't look that bad. I hope.

Thanks all

Mike

 

autozone should carry that size bulb. otherwise, i'm sure you could go to the dealership you bought it for, complain while you're there, and maybe they'll atleast give you a free bulb for it.

 

Its not just the bulb I need. Its the little plastic housing that the bulb fits in too. Would Autozone carry this? Pep Boys said they didn't have anything, but I didn't really trust the guy I was talking to anyway.

Thanks

 

oh, i doubt autozone would have anything like that. just try the dealer, i'm sure they could get you one and they're probably cheap. if you can't find one, i have an extra gauge cluster sitting around and could mail you one for a couple of bucks just for the bubble-wrapped envelope and shipping.
