Thanks for your response. It appears to be different. I have a lead on one.

Thank you for your response but I am only looking to add a second trunk light assembly for extra lighting.

I recently changed all my light bulbs to “Ice Blue” for that personal touch. I installed Led bulbs for the trunk but not quite bright enough so want to add a second light. There is a scrapped Fifth at a local salvage yard but next to impossible to contact the owner for permission...

Success at last !!! All dash lights changed to #2825 (5W). Originals were #194 (3W) but not bright enough. Don't know if due to age or not. Was going to go with #168 (4W) but said not taking a change on regretting to use the #2825 in light (no pun intended ) of all the work involved and no...

I installed sequential module “STS Universal” for my taillights from webelectricproducts.com..... very cool effect and sure you will love the result.

Thanks for your comments. A friend suggested the same to disconnect at transmission. That may very well be my next option. Getting close to putting “Lucky” in-offsite storage for the winter so may have to wait till next summer to try again.

Mounting screws ?? Please explain exactly where and which mounting screws You are referring to. When I had all the screws out I tried wiggling forward a little but no go. Everything was loose except for the speedo.

Thanks for the post. I have followed the OEM shop manual exactly. Steering wheel cover off but impossible to put enough pressure on the speedometer clip to release. I have small paws so obviously I am missing something. Can’t imagine try to re- connect. If I was smart I would leave as is...

Need help !!! light In center dash cluster too dim so in process of changing bulbs to #2825 5W..... have changed the bulb behind the gas gauge and the one for the gear shifter selection no problem. How the hell do I access the bulb behind the speedometer gauge ??? Any and all advice much...

The spare has never been out of my 1988 5th Ave but unfortunately it is in secured storage for the Winter season so I can’t do a physical check on proper tire storage or take a pic.

Update— My bud just called to advise his 78 Newport “Mona” is Home again safe & sound. Brake Booster was sent out to be rebuilt and was refurbished and received back in only 5 days. Installed and working fine now after having vechicle tied up for 3 months looking for replacement...

Thanks fellow members for all the prompt responses. My buddies (owner of the ‘78 Newport) mechanic has sent his old brake booster to some where in Western Canada to be rebuilt. If that doesn’t work out we now have lots of leads thanks to your replies.

Hey guys & gals, Need your help to locate a Brake Booster for a 1978 Chrysler Newport for a friend. His vechicle has been a local garage for 5 weeks with mechanic being unable to locate a replacement brake booster. To make things worse my friend is disabled and is totally reliant...

BudW..... would you recommend going with the halogen 168 in the cluster assembly rather than the halogen 194 ??? I know the 168 should be a bit brighter than the Halogen 194 but don’t want to overheat the socket. Gporeilly

If I went with the “cob” white led bulb, would you recommend the 194 or 168 ??

Thanks Aspen500 for the pic and info.... result looks awesome !!!

Thanks guys, your insight is much appreciated. Glad to say I have the bezel problem licked. I never had the new bulbs as this project was to replace the front speakers. Had to put every thing back together without installing the bulbs as I have a car show tomorrow. Just a matter of deciding on...

I had considered replacing with the coloured led but cost prohibitive for good quality ones. Would like to have tried blue ones to match my Twilght Blue interior/exterior. Using 168 instead of 194 sounds like a great idea. I have decided on using the Sylvania Silver Star for now which are...

Hey guys & Gals I need your help to solve a small but frustrating problem. The cluster lights seem a bit dim even when turned up to the highest so I am just trying to update/change the bulbs in the main cluster on my 1988 Fifth to see if replacements will make a difference. I have the original...

Thanks to one and all for your very insightful info.

gomopar89 just wondering if you had a chance to mount your tires yet ..... mean on your car !!! Pics please ???

What does "fleet" mean ???? .... my understanding is that it refers to cop cars/taxi's with a heavier suspension system ?? Any thing else that may affect clearances as it pertains to tire size ??

Question ?? My 1988 5th Ave owner's manual {pocket/glove box manual} lists allowable 15" tire size as 205/75/15 {Standard} OR 215/70/15 {Fleet Pkg. Only} Does "Fleet" only apply to 5th's made with the heavy duty leafs, sway bay, etc, produced for the cop cars and taxi"s ?? Presumably...

I got a quote from "Diamond Back" as well....they can make a tire with any whitewall width in what ever brand tire you want. A Michelin or Toyo 215/75/15 would cost approx $300 USD each PLUS any taxes PLUS freight....
