The Chevrolet Cavalier might have been a pretty decent little car in itself, but a certain malady followed the name wherever it went. Not only was the Cavalier not quite the import-killer that GM had hoped; older buyers had never forgotten that it was essentially a rebadged relative to the worst rebadged travesty in history: the Cadillac Cimarron. The Cobalt that replaced the Cavalier, free of such burdensome history, rose quickly from its 2004 debut to become one of America's favorite compact cars.
The 2008 Cobalt, like most modern cars, used a few different dash bulbs. The basic bulbs were single, white LED units from Equus, part number 9903. Part number 9904 was three 9903 bulbs splined into the same harness. The 5-inch Autometer tachometer uses a white, twist-in bulb, part number 3219. The gauges also use a few Autometer-brand, colored LED bulbs: the green LED is part number 3283, the blue is number 3286 and the red LED number 3294.
