Indicator bulbs

[mkocal]

May I ask,
Does anyone have information regarding the specs for replacement bulbs for the turn signal indicator lights on the r65 ls? I am referring to the small bulbs (2) that light up the green arrows mounted in the cockpit; not the turn signals. I cannot find any order number or spec, and neither can my dealer.
Thanks in advance

I believe it's a common SAE spec 168 'wedge' type lamp, you can get them at just about any auto parts store. They come in a blister pack of two for about $1.50 US.

mkocal,

If you have one, just pull it and take it to the autoparts.  They should be able to hook you up.  There should be a number printed on one side of the base.  Try to match it.  You don't want too high a wattage, as it will make your blinkers flash weird.  I don't think you have to worry about the bulb getting too hot, as it is flashing, though.

If you don't have one, ask again, and we'll see if we can't scrounge a # for you.

I'd go with a 193 or 168 lamp. Had a lot of trouble seeing my gauges then I read Section IV here http://pweb.jps.net/~snowbum/lamps.htm
This guy is Verbose but you will walk away knowing more about your bulbs than you ever imagined existed. i can now see my instruments at night!

Yeah, I looked through the bulb book at the local non-chain auto parts store and picked a bulb that was .w watt brighter and could really tell the difference.
