the parts-store bulb manual should list them if all else fails.

good luck.

Try to find the one for the GT warning lights.
NO ONE can find them I swear.
BTW, they are T37 I think.

i dont know - IIRC, Mike (Mustang5L5) knows for sure what it takes.

i usually match the bulb number or wattage up and pick a new one out. some of the bulb manufacturers have online catalogs with specific vehicle info. i just looked at one i had referenced in the past and did not see the GT cluster bulbs.

Yep, no autostore knows what they are or can find the part numbers. Like I said, the factory ones I think are T37, but even then, I can't find them anywhere.

about which part? the GT cluster is to the right of the ignition. it houses 4 lights (low fuel, oil level, coolant low, and blinker fluid or something else).

i dont know what a T37 bulb looks like either. i think i looked at my GT light bulbs once and they were just little bulbs. i was gonna replace them while the cluster was out, but, well i had no luck finding a bulb #.

i'm not talking about the bulbs in the dash cluster,i'm talking about the bulbs that go under the dash on the driver and passenger side plus in the dome light.

Most of the interior and the exterior marker and license plate lights etc, are a bulb 194, if they are the push in type. The package I have is a Phillips 194 and says they also replace a 158.

The two under dash bulbs are 194's (168 will also work). No 5.0 comes with these factory. For some reason Ford took them out but left the wiring and sockets in some 5.0's.

Dome light is a 912 (906 will also work)
