Almost any auto parts store.

Or at the top of the page, right here at fastlane...

I tried to find the appropriate wattage of bulbs at the local stores a while back and couldn't find them, but your mileage may vary.

Probably better to get them online than in a store.....stores always have cheapo stuff and the wrong wattages.....if they even have ones that fit at all.

Just checked the fastlane store and they only have the blubs for the instrument cluster which I dont need. Are they same blubs which are used in the ACC and other interior equipment?

You can get the BULBS at the dealer for under a dollar a piece. However, I don't think they carry blubs anymore

If this is for your w123, all the bulbs in the CCU and the one for the fiber optic spider are all #2721 and can be purchased at an auto parts store as FI already stated.

For the cabin, do you mean the overhead light? If so it takes a festoon bulb #6411.

Instrument cluster gauge face illumination bulbs are #2821.

Please use the correct wattage bulbs. I didn't and my cluster lights burnt out yesterday. The blue bulbs seen in the pictures are marked 12V5W-X (I use green LEDs for the turn light indicators).

My tri (quad) gauge cluster is a modified g@sser set with the economy gauge. I didn't want to toss it or buy a new one so I soldered a jumper across the broken circuit (which bypasses the rheostat as well).

2721 is 12V 1.2W (0.1A) size T1 3/4 lamp, just so you get the right one.

Also, I figured out how the reserve light check function works (That was added in the late 82 chassis revision). The alternator light circuit powers the reserve light. When the the reserve light comes on due to low fuel, a diode (seen next to the bottom connection of my jumper wire) blocks the current from turning on the alternator light.

Its amazingly simple. Anyone could easily add it to early clusters using a jumper wire, 0.18ohm resistor and diode.

Damn, the jumper didn't fix it. Everything works except the panel lights. Looks like I'll have to replace the left cluster.

Does anybody know who would have red LED's that would work in the dash and console?
