Hi there

Can anyone tell me, what kind of bulb is used in the dashboard where the outer air temperature is displayed? The bulb is soldered onto the circuit. Also, what's the default color? White?

And would be a good use to know the current passing through the bulb. The local vendor guided me to electronic shop, but they need to know current the bulb works on.

Use a standard T1 12v .060 milli amp bulb. Part number 7219..I get mine off Amazon. I use CML (Chicago Miniature Lighting) as they are, maybe, made in the USA. Some of the China, India and other bulbs life quality is very poor.

Thanks! Was the right one, though the diameter is too large here in the local shop. Gotta figure out something.

The diameter is 3mm on those bulbs...are you sure it is too large? Maybe you have a LED in there.

Yeah, got it finally, thanks! Had to use yellow bulb though. Now the problem is that some soldering circuits wore off on the circuit board so I can't really tell, where the bulb should connect or get it's power from. Does anyone happen to have wiring diagram for the circuit? Or very good quality picture of the circuit board?

Thanks in advance!
