[s-cars] RE: [V6-12v] Instument Bulbs and Headlight lens

[James F. Rorie, Jr.]

I replaced the bulbs in the temperature display and the transmission gear
indicator w/ the standard radio shack (either 40ma or 60ma) bulb.  It is the
only one they sell, so you can't get it wrong. I can't remember the
instrument cluster bulbs, but if they are like the idiot lights, I used the
same bulb and soldered it on.
