:dung:.. changing the bulbs on gauges..help

[1984 CJ7]

So, of course, I broke the cradle thing that the bulbs are in on the gauge for oil and temp. Where can you get replacements? I went to Morris 4x4 and they are not on there. junk yard?? I guess you do not need to twist the socket off but rather pull straight out correct?

they are a 1/4 turn socket then pull out this one should work as a replacement Auto Meter/2.7 Watts No. 161, 3.8 Watts No. 194 and 4.9 Watts No. 168 bulb and socket (3220) | Bulb with Socket | AutoZone.com

Ok, I will check that out! For some reason, mine didn't look like the kind you twist off a quarter turn. I will take a pic tonight and get your opinion

Yours should be the push in style.

 

[1984 CJ7]
