service engine light replacement
I will be pulling the instrument panel to replace the burnt out Service Engine Light. The car: 1997 Mustang Cobra. Will any S95 dash SEL light work? What is the part number for this light? I can pull from a junkyard nearby.

Being that I just replaced the gauge lamps in my car with LED lamps I also familiarized myself with the turn signal and warning strip lamps (I was bored).
The turn signal, high beam and warning strip lamps (except for "theft" which is an led) are all replacement # 37. Gauges are # 24 in case you're interested.
I wouldn't bother with pulling a cluster at a junkyard. Autozone (at least the few I went to) do not carry these replacement lamps but Pep Boys does. About $5 for a 2-pack. As far as trying to confirm these lamps through their online or even in-store catalogs, neither lists correct replacement lamps - both places say that the cluster uses #161, 164 and 191 lamps, which I can assure you will not fit.
EDIT: Just noticed you have a '97, the info above is specific to '99-'04. I advise you to remove the cluster first and verify what's in there; it only takes 5 minutes to take it out. They probably use the same lamps but ya never know... Remove the burnt out lamp and use it to compare and confirm a proper replacement.
