The original bulbs are halogen and can be tricky to find. You can use normal, common, and cheap 194 bulbs in their place.

As for the "S" - that appears ONLY if the speedo is remanufactured. There is a jumper on the circuit board (similar to the W2 jumper for the 199 mod) that must be connected to activate the "S". Simply swapping a junkyard cluster in will not illuminate the "S"

you aint kidding about the hologen bulbs being hard to find, my lights just went today and i spent a few hours running around to the "standard" parts places and none of them had them(#2033). my next stop is the dealer and if not there then my last resort before having to get the standard bulbs is the junkyard:shakeass:
