I have done a search and found 1 post reguarding this and it only had partial information. i have a 91 camaro and the bulb for the tach burnt out. I read a long time ago you have to replace the light socket because the bulb is solderd in the socket. Or do i just pull the bulb out of the socket and replace it. Also how many bulbs does it take i herd it takes 11 i want to replace all the bulbs since i have the guages out.

 

On my 86, you remove the gauge cluster and just twist out the bulb sockets in the back, replace the bulb, twist the socket back in, and replace the cluster. Done. Just make sure you lower the steering column when you do it, or you'll scratch the hell out of the top of it. Trust me, I know...

 

I think there is a big difference between the old style guages and the new style. You speedo is cable driven mine is electric. and different styles i remeber last time i took it out to replace the heater core it came out all in 1 ppice and there was a clear plastic on the back with copper wires running through it.

 

hey...i have a 1991 Z also...same exact thing happened to mine 3 weeks ago!! but ya you do have to replace the light/socket assembly...they are not that expensive at a local parts store...oh ya dropping the steering column a bit will help gauge cluster removal ALOT...hope i was some help

 

So wait i have to get a new 194 bulb socket??? If so how many will i need to replace all the lights. Do i solder them in to the existing wire or how is this done.

 

you can buy the bulb/ socket assembly all together...its reccomended to replace the bulb/ socket assembly. i dont remember exacly how many bulbs there are in the cluster...you would have to pull it out to find out. hope i was some help

 

oh ya the bulb/ socket assemblies just twist out when you turn them counter- clock wise
