LIGHT BULB & SOCKET ASSY TWIST-IN TACHOMETER

The LIGHT BULB & SOCKET ASSY TWIST-IN TACHOMETER by Equus is an essential illumination component for analog tachometer gauges found in classic cars, hot rods, and vintage restoration projects. This twist-in bulb and socket assembly powers the needle-sweep dial of your tachometer, ensuring the gauge remains readable in low-light driving conditions. Whether you're building a custom engine bay, restoring a muscle car, or troubleshooting a failed instrument cluster, this OEM-quality replacement eliminates guesswork about engine RPM during night driving or in dimly lit garages.

The twist-in design allows for straightforward installation without requiring complete dashboard removal or complex wiring modifications. The socket assembly accepts a standard automotive bulb and locks securely in place with a simple quarter-turn motion, making bulb replacement quick and tool-free when maintenance is needed. Equus manufactures this component to factory specifications, ensuring proper voltage regulation and compatible brightness with original or aftermarket tachometer faces. The compact form factor (2.3 x 4.5 x 0.5 inches) fits within tight instrument cluster spaces, and at just 0.1 lbs, adds negligible weight to your gauge circuit.

This bulb and socket assembly is ideal for mechanics and enthusiasts repairing failed instrument illumination or upgrading aging gauge clusters on vehicles from the 1960s through early 2000s. It's particularly valuable for fuel-injected engine swaps or carbureted restorations where the original tachometer housing remains in place but internal components need replacement. Verify your specific tachometer model and socket type before ordering to ensure compatibility with your dashboard gauge configuration.
