From memory, I think the bulb number is 3898. I hope someone else chimes in...

My SC uses 7mm bayonet bulbs for the illumination light and a smaller blade style bulb for the idiot lights (Osram 2721?). I don't know when the bulbs and gauges might have changed but they look the same through 89.

There are a couple of types of bulbs used, for gauge illumination and for idiot lights. From the Porsche spec book:

2W BA7s
1.2W W2x4.6d

Translating further, from PET, Porsche part numbers:

N 017 751 2
N 017 751 2

And, superceding to items carried by Pelican:

900.631.103.90 4W #3893
900.631.132.90 1.2W #2721

And, a link to the light bulb page on Pelican, for those who need it:

Hope this helps,

JR
