02 legacy GT

Have speedometer cluster semi-apart to change bulbs that illuminate gas gauge,speedo tach etc (one is out...figure I'll change all)

Take a look at the pic...aside from the blue condom slipped over the bulb, they look like a standard bulb (these were used in the front subaru corner parking lites in older models)

OR...are these something special???

Please, no guesses...I don't want to take the dash apart again

thanks

What number(s) is/(are) imprinted on the original bulbs?

There is usually a number imprinted somewhere on the bulb. There are at least 3 bulbs that are the same dimensions as what you have pictured, but the wattage is different between them. They may output more or less light than the original bulbs if you use the wrong ones, so you should make sure you get the correct bulbs.

 

Sylvania has a replacement guide on their website which is useful in most cases. But they don't list an instrument panel bulb for your car.

edit: Found a listing on GE's website. Should be a 168

I went to napa and asked for the bulb. It is listen in their computer system as to which one you need.

well...the only place i have available tomorrow is carquest

we'll see if they carry that kind if info

 

anyone know if all 4 (or 5,,not sure how many are back there) are identical at least?

on my car they aren't. There are 2 different sizes. if you pull them all out it will be obvious if they are all the same or not.
