Cluster Bulbs!

[Axion]

I got a bit of a shock at the ole Dodge Parts Counter today!



I noticed that a couple of instrument cluster bulbs seem to have gone dark on me. Part of the temperature scale behind the knobs is now dark, and a portion of the speedo near the top is also dark. I took the radio bezel off to remove the blown bulb. Went into the local dealership and was told the bulbs are $10 a piece!



Does anyone know of a more reasonably priced alternate source for these bulbs? I tried Checker and Auto Zone with no luck. They seem to be manufactured with the plastic base attached, but still, $10!!!



Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Should everything in the gauge cluster be equally lit?



My 4,5,6 in the Tach and 10,20,30 mph are not as bright as all the rest of the gauge cluster.

There is like 12 bulbs in there and should be evenly lit.



Where did you get a 6,000 RPM tach?
