Can't find a replacement dash light

I am looking for the little green light that goes behind my push button 4x4. It is the light that lights up the 4x4 and low range button when you turn your lights on. I pulled mine out today and went to a local parts store and they said try the dealership. Then the dealership said that ford has discontinuied (sp?) that light blub and I should try Radio Shack and then Radio Shack guys had no clue what it was I don't think they ever even figured out it was a light blub.

Any suggestions? It simular to the little light the factory radio uses except it is green.

Bulb is prolly a #194...other cars use green bulbs, too. You could always paint it. Get a small bottle of model paint, thin it out, brush it on.

No I don't think that is it #194 because the guy at the local ford deal said that number but said there was no number for this light blub. It is alot smaller.

If you post a picture of it I can look through my electronics parts catalogs and see if I can find a match. If you can't get it to display, just email it to mandtprice@gmail.com

That looks like the same bulb setup as they used in the radios behind the display for quite a while -- except green. If the bulb comes out of the plastic holder, you may find a replacement as a Euro bulb at a larger AutoZone type store (except white). Otherwise, I would say JY.

I agree with the junk yard Idea a place where you can pul your own stuff would be sure to have a few ford dashes around. I would grab a couple, and will remember do do so next time I am at the local u pick um place. The place around here usally charges a buck for little stupid stuff like that. I could probably get the whole cluster for $5 that would be worth while for when my bulbs start going.
