fearofweapons Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Hi, investigating the the other day why some of my warning lights no longer warn ( e.g. indicator, trailer, low fuel etc. ) I found the bulbs were broken. These are the ones on the warning lights cluster insert in a 1989 110 dashboard and contain the battery charging, oil, diff lock engaged, the list above plus others. ) Having a hunt around I think the bulb type is a 286 - but also seen reference to 297 and other numbers bandied around. Can any of the learned members of this forum give me the definitive answer please? If 286s then either of the following links should satisfy my needs? ( In that department at least! 😉 )https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dashboard-Instrument-Panel-Holder-B8-5D/dp/B07HPCWBJQ/ref=pd_lpo_263_t_0/260-0379418-9419645?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07HPCWBJQ&pd_rd_r=7a5c52ea-8f31-42b4-9dd5-d0222efc8c14&pd_rd_w=EFA6b&pd_rd_wg=dbihH&pf_rd_p=7b8e3b03-1439-4489-abd4-4a138cf4eca6&pf_rd_r=E2VKZJN4Y6E98E61V2R9&psc=1&refRID=E2VKZJN4Y6E98E61V2R9 https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/164398732938?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-153316-527457-8&mkcid=2&itemid=164398732938&targetid=4584894773047612&device=c&mktype=&googleloc=&poi=&campaignid=398226962&mkgroupid=1300722490880837&rlsatarget=pla-4584894773047612&abcId=2145997&merchantid=87779&msclkid=566497b48de11af0c041c838e88aba63 https://www.amazon.co.uk/286-Capless-Dashboard-Bulbs-1-2w/dp/B002BB53IU Many thanks Rich T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonb Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) The first link, is a bulb in a holder, sometimes these don't fit very well to the plastic PCB on the cluster. You are better with the bare push in bulb - last link. You should have bulbs that can be removed from the holders, but there is no guarantee a previous owner hasn't swapped to the integral type. The LEDs should fit but don't expect a massive transformation. Don't use a LED for the indicator or charge warning lights.
