digital dash

I have an 88 T-bird, and my digital dash is very dim. It work, but its very hard to read. Is there a lightbulb in there i'd have to replace, or a way to dim it, or am I just screwed?

I am not an expert on the digital dash but I had one in my corvette - the vette used LED/s that when dim had to be replaced and or repaired - perhaps a post in the parts wanted section may help you out to find a better replacement.

Can you put a turbo coupe analog dash into a non-turbo digital dash car?

No-you'll have to replace the digital with a analog for the same vehicle.

Now for the good news-the elctronic cluster does use bulbs for lighting, not LEDs.

You'll need to check the number of bulbs-here are the numbers and approximate quantities,, depending on the cluster:

194 - either 4 or 6
Mini #37 - either 1 or 9
6 Halogen #2033
or
6 Xenon #A7742
