Has anyone managed to hack or replace the instrument panel?
#18
sure, it's 0.040 amps , GE, not the other ones that are 0.1amps
the ECU glows that lamp and uses a very weak power transistor to do so. do not overload the CEL transistor. (not only that the part is NOT SOLD ON EARTH)
ours uses cE1F3P
(no longer made or 2nd sourced, but i can hack it to work) but dont blow it out, or it takes out others in the same package... a private hell that.

as you may know that japan cars dont list GE bulb numbers. only CP ,candle power (stone ages. like)
but GM did, so bless GM for doing that.
and is on my hard to buy parts page , the others are #74 on our cars.

and LED would work (with series resistor or internal type)

oops. never take out the CEL unless its blown. sorry.
the transistors can handle 0.1amps but gets too hot, its not heat sinked, so does not like extra current. as you know incandescent lamps suck huge power.

i see some using the 74s and its seems to run, but id not risk that. not when the driver is obsolete, (kids glove it)

the problem is most stores do not stock many lamps. (huge possibles)
