Well, it didn't take long for a couple of the metal collars that hold the bulbs into the plastic socket to pull out and strand the brand new bulbs inside the gauges. Looks like I am going to have to drop the dash eventually anyway. There are some that just don't want to come out without leaving the metal ring (and the bulb) behind. I also have one gray wire hanging down that is missing the metal ring that holds the bulb into the socket. If any of you have a parts car, it would be great if you could mail me this tiny part.
Thank you, John Nasta
