MF250 Dash Warning Lights

[MF8160]

Has anyone found a replacement bulb socket that fits the warning light instrument panel on a Massey 250?

Are these the lights you are looking for?

RM-MN,

Sometimes you can copy and paste the address if you do not make it a link. Or just post where to look without an address.

You are all set on bulbs (they look like they may be #194 bulbs), however you need the sockets, correct? It appears MF only has them as part of the dash wiring harness.

Can you clip one of the bad bulb sockets out and take it to a parts store to see if they can match it? Ford and GM used some replaceable sockets for those bulbs in marker lights that might work. Or post a picture or two of the socket and someone might have an idea of where another similar one is used.

I am all set on bulbs. I crossed them to a 2821 bulb which is also a 12V, 3W. It is the sockets I am looking for as a couple of them have the wiring broke off
flush to the back of the socket. I will post a pic of the sockets later on today.

These are the bulb sockets I'm looking for...

Check with some auto parts stores. Those are similar to side maker light sockets. They may have two wires and you would need to ground one wire (your current ones look like they have the brass tabs for ground where the socket mounts. You might have to modify the tabs that hold them in place. GM and Ford used similar sockets from the mid 70's thru at least the 90's. Again, similar not saying they are the same, but you might be able to modify them to fit. eBay and Amazon might be other sources for them.

Agreed on the auto parts store. I bought a pack of 5 for a couple bucks that are twist locks like these.

Ended up using these bulb sockets. Cut two of the tabs off and trimmed the other two to match the original socket. Great fit!
