Can this lamp: http://www.servicelighting.com/catalog_ ... od=MB27230
be effectively substituted with one of these: http://www.servicelighting.com/catalog_ ... t_num=0906 ?

Which one on the second page? Just looking through a few, I'd say no. You want the specs to be at least close to the same. Volts, bulb type, and base type. None I've looked at would be a strait swap.

Thanks. I hereby give up on that quest.

I got some of the one wire sockets that ground to the metal base of the gauge backing plate from Autobone. Drilled out the holes to the appropriate size and now I can see my gauges at night.

I have an appointment at The Buslab next week anyway (I want them to stick a probe up the bus's butt to check the exhaust mixture) and I have asked them to special-order Sylvania 2723 bulbs to replace the stock ones. The 2373's are recommended by Lord Ratwell.

(My fingers are much too fat to replace those bulbs. I gave up doing that over 20 years ago.)
