The ALT socket is integral with the circuit board, not separate. Perhaps someone has jerry rigged it before. The Alt socket is located, looking from the back at the C/B bottom right corner. Older instruction sheets from Hi-Po Parts had this wrong showing it at the top right. Hopefully it has been corrected by now. This is for idiot lights only, no factory tach or clock (tic-toc).
See attached diagrams which are the OLD incorrect ones for Elite and Extreme Bulbs. The ALT socket is still the bottom right seen from behind as mounted to the cluster body.
ALSO, I first used Extreme, but changed them to ELITE Series which are way better. see second diagram. Kit #FC7173FM-EL2 original factory color. Other colors are available if you prefer.
Hope that makes some sort of sense,
Geoff.
EDIT NOTE: Got my bulbs mixed up, Sorry, this is now correct.
Geoff, what was it you did not like about the exteme bul kit? The website says the elite kit does not have full dimming ability whereas the extreme kit does. Could you elborate. Thanks
The extreme bulbs were not bright enough, barely different from 194 bulbs. I chose to retain the blue domes as I want the original look. My domes were not discolored and in perfect condition. Not all are for sure.
I have no obvious issue with the Elite bulbs not dimming. They work fine. The website dose say however, "they will be dimmable in most vehicles" BUT LED's won't work in the turn signals without a special LED flasher/relay, available from Hi-Po Parts (and likely others suppliers). I believe it has a separate ground wire if I remember, Hi-Po scu is RELAY-LED-02. I used 194 bulbs in this location, but I may change next year as I want to install LED's in the rear lights. It seems there is a lot of "stuff" the manufacturers and resellers don't tell us, but would be to their benefit if they did.
Hope that clears up your question.
