list of bulb #'s and qty in my dash.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

RunninLo · 12-04-2008, 03:30 AM

Sorry if this has been beat to death but I couldn't find any info.

What I'm after is the number and type of bulbs that are all the lights in my dash. I wan't to include every bulb even idiot lights.
Vehicle is my 1989 GMC sq. body dually non tach dash.

I need the info for two reasons:

1) my High Beam indicator is out and I'm constantly getting flashed for leaving highs on and I want to fix it. Also the upper left of my speedo will drop out occasionally. Since it is fairly labor intensive my plan is to just put a new bulb in every spot so that I can be done with it. Yeah i know there's a chance of a bad "new" bulb but this still seems like a good law of averages thing.

2) in other vehicle aplications ( yeah mostly imports and motorcycles) I converted the guages to LED's. this would be the best for me cause I really like the look and longevity of LED's. soldering and voltage matching isn't really an issue but I'd like to plan way ahead to minimize my downtime since while it's not my daily I do drive it alot.

Thanks in advance,
Josh
PS the bezel had an old wood kit on it and I'll be doing something to fix the look of it.

You can buy a new "aluminum" sticker and put it on the old gauge bezel. It's abou $40 instead of close to $200 for a whole new bezel.

There are 13 bulbs total They are as follows.....

High beam indicator = 1
Turn signal indicators = 2
Battery warning lamp = 1
Check Engine light = 1
4WD indicator light = 1
Seat belt light = 1
Brake warning lamp = 1
Gauge illumination = 5

All these bulbs on the '88-'91 model crew cabs, blazers & Suburbans are a part # PC194 which means the bulb AND socket are one unit and cannot be seperated. You can however go to your Local NAPA AUTO PARTS store and get replacement sockets. They carry them in 2 different sizes that're kinda hard to tell apart. You will need the smaller of the 2 to fit your cluster.

Just added..... Some of the bulbs may very well be a #168 These bulbs have a GREY BASE and are a part number PC168 Although the 194's can be used in place of them as well.

sweet I know the 168's add the 194's have LED replacements. Thanks guys.

don't think you can dim the light output of the LED's.... you want to check before you go this route

Nope, that is not true. LED can be dimmed same as old style incandescent bulbs.
