Type 89 80 instrument cluster swap, wiper mechanism

[Perry, Christoper (EDS)]

Hi Tom,
On my 89 90q there is a bulb right next to the yellow connector for the
Tach. It is a 2w bulb with a green base.  Is this not the case with yours?

Thanks, Huw- but it is strange that I cannot find a bulb holder near the
clock. There's one in my 90q's dash (with the Autocheck) but that cluster
is altogether different.
