Default Replacement Bulbs...?

Does anyone have a list of the replacement bulbs for our Discos?
Such as for the climate control, instrument cluster, cigar lighter, various switches, dome lights and so on and so forth...
I have several lights out and since this is the family vehicle, I'd prefer to purchase the needed bulbs prior to tearing into all the panels, that and my wife hates to see the thing pulled apart for more than a few minutes.

edit: I did read the Rave and found no list of actual bulb numbers.

AutoZone has a book with the bulb numbers, otherwise the dealer and sell you the ones you need.

Can't afford the $400 plane ticket to the closest dealer and Autozone. All I have is a NAPA, and they are no help.

Did I really just read that? A dealer will happily sell you a bulb for thrice the price...

The fine folks at Rovers North have this somewhat handy electrical "stuff" page http://www.roversnorth.com/store/c-360-electrical.aspx

Better yet, and why on Earth they keep this chart a secret is beyond me... https://www.roversnorth.com/store/p-...p-listing.aspx

still workin on the website i guess, eh Thompson?

Default Thanks for all the help...

Spike, thanks for pointing out to me(in my eyes, that is) that we all need to be more specific about our particular circumstances so others understand our plight.

Cosmo, thanks for bringing up that page on RoversNorth. Got it bookmarked. Now I can order(the local NAPA only stocks a few of those bulbs) a handful of different bulbs for when I dig into the dash.

Your approach is sound, Chris-bob. There are many bulbs that appear to be identical to those available at auto parts stores, but they can be very different. Some of the Rover bulbs are virtually impossible to acquire through typical auto parts stores, eg. the back lights for the clock and the A/T gear selector. Some folks take the attitude that if it fits, it's fine, but when the wattage is 2-3 times what it should be, it's a fire hazard.

The links to the bulb information are no longer valid.
