The replacement dash cable assembly for my S4 has plastic instead of metal bulb holders for some of the instruments. They look like they take a wedge type bulb. Can anyone tell me the wattage I need?

I believe they use a LLB286 wedge (or capless) rated at 1.2 Watts for the minor instruments if you wish the 'stellar' performance of the original.
Here is a link that provides some typical size info...
http://www.thewedgeshopstore.com/bulb-l ... ack-of-10/There is also a reference to the LLB510 at 2.2 watts in the Holden catalog for new gauges (large and small ones) here...
http://www.holden.co.uk/cataloguePDFs/cat10/Gauges.pdfThe other reference I found is the LLB504 Capless Bulb at 3 watts. Definitely use these for the Speedo and Tach.
I ended up using LED's to replace the incandescents.
