Hello Marty,
#194`s are the correct bulb for the advisory lamps (Security, Lo
Coolant, etc.), turn indicators and some of the small exterior lamps.
Eckler`s has these for $ 1.25 each. Four #891 lamps are used in the
roof mounted stop lamp on C4s -- Eckler`s asks $ 11 each for those (p/n
20092).
I think that Haynes is just parroting the owner`s manual that the
cluster bulbs are non-serviceable--actually, not so. I bought four of
them at a local dealer several years ago for about thirty dollars.
Eckler`s lists "instrument cluster bulbs with sockets" as p/n # 30889
for $ 13 ea. You might also check Mid-America.
HTH....... Mike.
