Jetscat7 Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 My twist lock sockets have worn out and just crumbled apart when I changed bulbs. I read somewhere they wereT5 sockets but they are too small. What size are they and where can I order them please? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 The black or brown plastic things that hold the bulbs??? Never heard of this happening. UV from sun exposure can degrade plastic. How is this possible? http://datsun1200.com/modules/mediawiki/index.php?title=Bulbs Twist-lock holder (7 used in round dash). These sockets fit bulbs with a W2.1x9.5d base (aka W2, miniature wedge, or T5 base. Highly suggest you convert to LED so you can actually read the odometer... https://www.amazon.ca/WLJH-Dimmable-Automotive-Instrument-Indicator/dp/B07S8BRDM5/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?ie=UTF8&aaxitk=7JH8GuA1erwZG4-hqoUE5A&hsa_cr_id=5477465030201&ref_=sbx_be_s_sparkle_mcd_asin_2 Quote Link to comment
Jetscat7 Posted October 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 Yes each one has only one catch and the other fell off. This causes them to not want to stay in and not get good connections. I dont think they are the T5 because I ordered the T5 and they were too small. They are the grey ones from the instrument cluster. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 .These are mine... probably T5 for 620 on right then maybe 720 early the last two on left are late 720? and Hardbody I think. The trend is towards smaller. The far right also fit my '76 710. Maybe sent wrong ones? Quote Link to comment
