So I trashed a guage cluster light socket a while back when rebuilding my dash... this is the light socket itself for the highbeam, turn signals, or backlight for the cluster itself. Well I had a difficult time finding a replacement that fit and used the same size bulb. I finally found one, so hopefully this post will help any of you who need to replace the light sockets which plug in to the back of the stock guage cluster:

NAPA part #787133 (UPC 6476648407) fit and worked perfectly - it is also the DORMAN Part # 85805. I picked mine up at local NAPA for $1.87.

or Google it

Worth noting - if you're going for stock replacements - Classy chassy sells what appear to be stock replacements, $25 for the set...http://classychassisrestoration.com/products/bronco-gauge-cluster-light-bulb-socket-set-of-6-25-0/


Now I gotta pack - off to Denmark for a week.

Bit out of your normal territory, eh? Have a good and safe trip.
And thanks for the part numbers. I still say... "There oughta be a thread."
