93 850 - Cluster Bulbs

Were Read 2 Def · Post by **Were Read 2 Def** » 19 Feb 2009, 07:26

I have a 1993 850. I noticed the post about replacing the odometer gears, which I have to do. The post is very detailed and looks easy to do, thanks for that. Half of the bulbs for my cluster are out. Does anyone know the bulb number for the main bulbs for the cluster? Also, do they come attached with the socket?

The backlights for the cluster are real common wedge base bulbs that you can get at any auto parts store. They used to call them W3W but they gave them a new number a year or so ago - they still say W3W on the package.

The idiot lights take a special base. I get them from here:

I work for a GM dealership. We have 194 bulbs or sometimes called a peanut bulb. Is that what a W3W is?

I found it at Advance Auto Parts site, it is a 2821, I'm not sure what other numbers it might go by.
