Gauge illumination light bulbs used?
in a 1998 jeep cherokee sport? i searched the site for this, but didn't see an answer. i think they are 74 bulbs, but not 100% sure. does someone know the correct replacment bulb numbers for the 5 general illumination lights in the gauge cluster?
i know they are supposed to use these:
37 / 74
53
658
the bulb that comes out is labeled 103, which isn't coming up on any sites i checked to find the replacement part number.

they couldn't tell me the proper replacement bulb numbers for GI.
the bulbs in there now are stamped 103, does anyone know the replacment part number for them? the 74 bulb should work in their spot (the base is the same, they are just a bit shorter)? i'd rather get the same bulb if i can, but 103 doesn't seem supported at all...thanks in advance.

Mine '96 sport. It maybe diffrent somewhat from yours.
Here's what I know from my "experience" when I was replacing bunch of dead lamps.
I used 74 lamps for illumination of switches symbols, climit control etc, also the warning lights block lamps were those type. Those are the smallest lamps there.
But the lamps behind the cluster were actually the larger ones, same as in the glove box. Mine were 194 with blue rubber cover. I replaced them with just clear ones. (see picture, I still have couple of them around).
So, my guess would be that you should be fine with 74s, but they may be less bright (????) or maybe just fine. I believe, if you go to Advanced or AZ or what ever parts store, they must have few of the same size lamps but different wattage, you can get couple different ones and see how it works.
Yeah, it's kind of hard to search and find "103" lamp on the net... I tried and got nowhere ...
