Need Instrument Panel Indicator Bulb - Dealer Stumped!
The bulb for the "D" indicator in my instrument panel is burnt out. I stood at the dealership for 20 minutes while they looked through the parts catalog and eventually called Subaru of America. They told me they would have to order a few different bulbs and compare them to the one I took out. Does anyone know what number it actually is? The bulb assembly is about an inch long and the bulb itself is small like the others in the switches.

Why not ask here for some?
I have all of them since I don't need them with a 5MT. In the meantime you can always use the bulb from "1", "2" or "3"

I just looked on Subaruparts.com and found it right away. Part#85066PA030 1.12 watt bulb - $5 each. Took a whole 30 seconds.

No problem, it hasn't been much above 25 degrees here lately so I havent been too motivated to work on it anyway.
Thanks Dan |

You can also get the little bulb itself from an electrical shop for a few cents each. Then you put the new bulb into the old plastic "stem" and wind the wires of the new bulb indentically to the old one (they go though the stem and sortof wind around the base of it - hard to explain but easy when you are holding it and looking). I got ones that were 2 watts I think, and i canīt determine the difference in brightness. Also you can get the right size to remount the old coloured boot as well!!
I bought 20 of the little buggers for nothing and use them for all the different panel lights. Matt
