[C320-list] engine panel question

[Bob Borelli]

First I cleaned the light bulb contacts on my fuel gauge which worked, the light lite up for night time cruising.

Then I removed the bulb, read the number on the base I installed new no. 194 bulbs from Amazon.

If you can't identify the bulb number, Top Bulb website offers matching pictures of bulbs & their bases.

Thanks. Does anyone know what is the right replacement bulb?

When running the engine I noticed that there was no light on the tachometer or fuel gauge (both on the left), in contrast to the voltage and temp gauges (on the right). Does anyone know whether the lights are replaceable separately from the gauges themselves? Given the pattern in might be a loose wire rather than burned out lights, but I'd like to know what are the possibilities before removing the wheel, opening the panel, etc.
