Trunk Light Replacement Bulb? March 22, 2006, 05:44:48 PM Hey, does anyone know the model number/bulb type of the bulbs used in the trunks of our 87-88 foxes? Mine burnt out, and the model number on the bulb is pretty much totally scratched off... I can sort of make out a "012", but that's it. Any help is appreciated! Quote Selected

Trunk Light Replacement Bulb? Reply #2 – March 22, 2006, 07:53:24 PM The '87 owners manual calls for a #89, the '88 calls for a #98(not sure I've ever heard of it). I believe I have a 906 in my '88, which is brighter than a 168 or 194.You may have had a 912 it fits as well('88) and is really bright. Thats the same bulb as in the high mount stop lamp.
