    Proper instrument gauge light bulbs for the 5 gauges for a 1971 Targa

    I have decided to stick to the original type bulbs , rather than the LED type. I need to buy bulbs for the two gauges left of the tach and the clock. I see BA7 is what sells over Pelican and Stoddard, but which watt level. There are 12V - 2W and 4W. Which Watt is required?

    Vr,
    Scott

    Any help?
    Are the small instrument bulbs 12 volt by 2 or 4 watt ?
    I am ready to buy 12 for both the 1970 and 71.

    I'd go for the 4W, 2W sounds a little dim.

    The proper light for the instrument cluster is N177222, 12V 2W. See my post (#4) here for a complete listing of all the bulbs for early 911. See the link, 10 bulbs for $7, better than Stoddard's price of $5.50 EACH. Or just put "N177222" into Google and choose any of the many vendors.
