Hey guys. I've searched over and over on here but can't find an answer. People have said just buy the 94 bulbs but those bulbs only fit the places that actually light up the speedometer and tachometer and stuff. Where can I buy the bulbs that fit the check engine light and the blinkers and the door ajar and all those. 9 total I think. Here is pics of the bulb I am talking about. Can you get the whole piece somewhere because I can't get the bulb out of the socket it sits in! Thanks in advance!

Replacement cluster bulb, Dorman part 5257-05250917, or GE 27221 - PC194
 






i found that Ford puts bulbs in all the sockets of the cluster, even in options your truck may not have. mine was a 2wd, so i swapped the burnt out CEL with one of the 4wd bulbs for free.
 






The small bulbs are #37 and should be removable from the plastic base. You can buy them at most parts houses, I got a box of ten at NAPA.

#74 will also work, its the same physical size, but is brighter & has a shorter service life.
