I am in the process of rehabilitating the 85 I have as it has been collecting dust. I am refreshing the cluster and have found the Park and Drive mini bulbs are toast. I pulled apart the gauge and removed the bulbs from the circuit board. I can't tell what they are so I went down to a specialized electronic store and they had nothing like them.

Where can I get these bulbs? What is the wattage...specs?

Thanks!

Not sure if they are the same ( likley not ) but I bought them from 928 intl for my car.

Radio Shack part # 272-1141A. I think Porken knows of some brighter ones. I have an old tach that I can remove the bulbs if you want.
Edit, just found these.

any decently stocked European shop should have the correct bulb, couple bucks or so each

According to the LED king, it's just an S.



LED's save weight; every little bit helps on a GTS.

What Ken said..."t's just an S"

On a serious note, in my experience in dealing with the idiot lights, is that they illuminate quite nicely and the the difference is hardly noticeable. Besides, there would have to be some (more than I am motivated for) alterations made for these lights to be LED. It's not the actual LED installation, but rather the size of the LED's as opposed to the mini bulbs and the tunnels that they fit into. Just not worth the hassle for me. Not to mention that LED's are directional.

That being said, the front lighting of the gauge faces will be LED and the Pod switches, center console and the courtesy lighting. I may go full tilt on the exterior, but will address that after the car is back together and running...legally.
