Bulb

Got the bulb out and put it back in and still only the top of the gauge lights. Called Autometer and they are stupped too. They want me to send it in.

Anyone else ever have this issue?

Thanks...

Fixed It

zx250, thanks for recommending to push wire back up the A pillar. I was able to get enough slack in the to easily work on the back of the gauge.

The existing (original bulb) worked but while I had it out, I replaced it with another 194 bulb. Well the new buld is brighter so it fixed the problem.

I have never seen a filament bulb decrease out put. I alway thought they either work or don't.

Oh well, it is fixed. Thanks everyone for the assistance.

LEDs

LEDs are great but still are expensive and hard to find.

168s are brighter than 194s for those looking for brighter gauages or anything else.

168 = 5 watts, 38 lumens, 3 cp
194 = 4 watts, 25 lumens, 2 cp
