The radio illumination in the OEM AM/FM radio failed some years ago - never got to replacing it. Have the dash opened up for other reasons, so thought I'd attend to it - sure enough, the bulb in the radio was burned out. I removed it with the intent of taking it to the parts store and matching it - but I've managed to misplace the original bulb. I did find a reference to a 194 bulb - but that is too big for the socket.

Does anyone know what the correct replacement is for the stock radio display illumination bulb?

Try the 37 I think that was popular Ford radio back light bulb.

Finally got a chance to pursue this again - found a post that had said they went to NAPA and matched the old bulb. Well, with a NAPA store on my way home, I tired that this afternoon. A NAPA miniature bul #74 looked to be a very close match - and it fits and functions!

So, at least for my stock radio, a NAPA miniature 74 bulb resotred the dial illumination.
