Hi. I have a grant XL. The bulb for the meter is shot. What are the
spcifications of this bulb? Is it a standard 12v "wheat" lamp? Thanks.

Yes it is a 12 volt bulb and the "wheat" lamps that copper sells are for meter lights. You can get an LED from radio shack that will fit (can't remember for sure what size, but I want to say 5mm). These LED's are low voltage so you will have to use a resistor to drop the voltage from 12 volts to whatever the LED requires.
