You probably have a bulb out at the right of Your cluster, this need to remove the cluster and change the faulty bulb...

When I swapped to a base digit cluster to a full digit cluster last winter, I changed ALL the bulbs for a LED white bulbs, it's a bit more expensive, but You never change this again...

Regards,

Dom.

I don't remember if he have ONE or TWO bulbs per side, I guess two, same for the speedometer, Before I change for a full digit cluster, My base cluster was a one bulb burned, and never guessed since I remove the cluster to swap...

Check all of Your bulbs when the cluster removed, and pay attention if You have the prnd21 in dash to don't broke the little wire between the column and the cluster...

Again, I suggest strongly to put a white led bulbs in Your cluster, it's a bit more expensive, but You'll never change...

My Bird have all leds lighted, interior and exterior (tails, markers, ect) except the dome and under the dash lights...

The bulbs more than likely are all the same age, for a cheap as they are I would just change them all while you have it apart. Not that it is that involved but I would be aggravated if I changed only one and then a week later another went out, thats just the luck I have.

The two bulbs for the base digital cluster read-out are halogen bulbs. DO NOT touch the glass on those with your fingers before you install them, otherwise, you'll be back in there again long before you wanted to be. The rest of them are standard incandescant bulbs.

TBirdManiac, can you give us manufacturer/model numbers on the bulbs you used? Like you said, maybe a little more expensive, but you NEVER have to replace them again.

Hello,

I purchased a bunch of these on ebay, some are single leds (perfect for dash, ect) and some multi leds, perfect for side markers, ect...

Check on ebay, it's cheap...
