Default Help..!! Globe to light up odometer in cluster
Hi All,

Can anyone tell me where to get replacement globes, very unusual looking globes I must say, that light up the odometer / DTE in my cluster. Would autobarn or supercheap have them or would I have to go to Ford spare parts. I know that this seems trivial but I am under very tight time constrants in the morning and would like to get this sorted for the wifes car before going away for 4 days for work.
Thanks in advanced. Sometimes there is just not enough hours in a day. :

I thought that wedge bulbs were the typical 5 Watts that you put in your parking lights and side indicators. these are totally different and are 2 watts.

I think that Ford should make these guys have some sort of consistency in their spare parts pricing. You get two for $12, I get two for $10.50. Might only be $1.50 on this one but I have seen some huge differences with some other stuff.
