Gauge Bulb "Holders"?

Hey whats up everyone... I want to change the bulbs behind my gauge cluster since my indiglo gauges are about to die. The indiglos were installed by the previous owner, and he didn't re-attach all of the little bulb "holders" that are behind the gauges. These "holders" are what the 194 bulbs actually go into and attach them to the back of the gauge console. Let me know if I am being unclear as to what I am talking about.

So, does anyone know the part number of these, or where I can find them? I don't even know what they would be called. Or, is this a lost cause, and I should just buy another set of indiglows?

Please let me know, thank you!

Shawn

I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think 194 bulbs fit into your gauge cluster. People usually change out the stock bulbs and replace them with the larger 194 bulbs but you have to dremel or use a knife to make the holes a little bigger in the back of the cluster. If you have 194 bulbs in there the reason why there aren't any "bulb holders" is because they would probably fall right through the hole. I put 194R bulbs in mine, same as the 194 but they are red, along with some led's for the needles. I would spend the $15 to replace the bulbs and add LED's them pay for the over priced indiglos. just my .02 cents

Oh yeah and you don't need "bulb holders" no matter what option you go with, just need some solder.

98/99 have smaller wedge bulbs maybe size 74

These holders are sold at Advance Auto parts. They are in the section with the bulbs and sockets. They only come in packs of 4 though. You'll need 5.
