I have an 87 245, 90 240, 92 245. I hope this is the year they all get running. Anyway, they all need odo gears - just ordered. Looking inside I will want to get bulbs. I see LED units and halogen units. How many, what kind, etc. Want to think it through, avoid false steps. Thanks!

FCP should have the bulbs. Just enter your year and model and compare the bulb photos online with those you see in the dash.
The little halogen ones can be pricey.
I didn't think any stock bulbs in a 240 were LED. ???

there are no stock led bulbs, but some people put LED units in yet I also see halogens with 2 long wires and no sockets and others with a different (non blade)socket.

My best suggestion is to compare bulb photos online from FCP and maybe check out the parts diagrams on the Tasca site to ID the bulbs.

Maybe someone with more bulb experience will chime in.
