    Reminds me of this thread where a member, Carlos, misspelled "bike" and clearly had the post deleted, but not before someone quoted it!

      Was even funnier because I didn't know Genevadirt at the time, except by a few posts. But there we were, jumping in on this poor guy with both feet!

        Billy Bub, or is it Bully Bib: It used to be (40 years ago) whenever you toured the junkyard you'd nervously go through the gate with a pocketful of clandestine screws, knicknacks and bulbs. For this reason today I don't toss at-home instrument panels or other fixtures; those oddball spare bulbs are a godsend sometimes. An entire Festy instrument cluster is alight with identical 1/4 turn socket bulbs, but some may be coloured (or is that only for Aspires?), and no doubt the turn signals are some version of this. Seeing it's a Ford/Mazda/Kia/Hyundai there ought to be compatible lighting stuff in many salvageable wrecks.

            No, but there is a spell checker you can down load inro your FF.com login.
            It's been so long I can't remeber how to do it, maybe someone else can help you!

                    Ditto Bert/Burt's comments*. And if you install a tach cluster, one of the advantages is a lifetime supply of bulbs. While you're at it, check the panel lights - the little ones at the top of the cluster at the ends of the red/black wires. Those seem to have a much shorter lifetime, and if you have some dead ones and aren't used to how the panel should look, you may be in for a pleasant surprise when you get them working too.

                    *And vs. 40yrs ago, now headlamp bulbs fit in your pocket again, just like they did 70yrs ago :-)
