I would like to know the type and size of the two stock bulbs in the pictures below Please.


The first is this one. I know its a wedge bulb of some sort however, I can not seam to find the size of it. I would like to convert it to led.

Thanks for the help!
 
The problem is find the right size bulb. the one in the first 2 pictures is pretty small. i believe i might have identified the type of bulb. a 37LL by sylvania or whatever. the 2nd set of bulbs is a either a t4 or t5 neo wedge bulb. Im placing an order for these bulbs now and once i confirm fitment ill pass the info along.

the top bulb is is for the light selector switch on the left side of the dash. most of the leds i have purchased are way to big for it. it is also WAY smaller then the normal behind the cluster bulbs as well. this is what is making it hard to find a conversion led for it so far.

the second bulb is the one that illuminates the button panel on top of the dash that controls the computer. I have already eliminated the t3 neowedge as a proper fit. I can get them to click into place however i do not believe the led contacts come out far enough to get power. that or i have a dead led. either way im grabbing a set of T4s to try next and the site i found that has them are out of the t5s which i think is probably the proper bulb.


http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Control/fp/SFV/32481/user/velocity this is the site i found them at. normally is use e-bay but i dont want to wait 3 weeks for honk kong. i also found a coupon code for 5% off your order thats valid through december.

code - nlcode

Well I can tell you that a 194 SMD LED bulb will work for at least the wedge style bulb in your second picture.

By the looks of the pics, I thought 194 too. They look bigger in the pictures than they really are. 12volt.com usually has the right bulb fitment or it might help you to make sure on the smaller size you need.
 
I stand corrected. If they are smaller than the dome lamp and floor lighting then yeah, 194 won't work. My bad.
 
Ill find them damn it. I intended to blue out as much of the dash as possible. the challenges are going to be the lights inside the buttons them self. and the steering wheel bulbs. I might have to use a bulb paint. or god for bid get freaky with a soldering iron

Oh geez. Leave it alone instead of picking up the soldering iron! :eek:

Maybe you're going a little overboard. :p

37 = 74 but I don't know why they don't just have one number for them.

Trippen, it is T5 too BTW

I understand there is a wait involved but with the quantity you get, it might be worth the wait.
My last SMD LED's, were from China or somewhere like that and it took almost 2 weeks but they
are bright and never had a problem with any of them. In your case though, they have to be a
short style I'm assuming so they'll fit and not be too long.

You wanted blue and this is a USA seller in California. Might get them in next week and 15 of them.
These say white but the seller should have blue.

These are blue.

thanks but the t5s would need to be the neo wedge. and i do not need many. just 1 of the mini bulbs and 1 of the t5 neo wedge bulbs. ive already converted my cluster gage as seen in the link above for the putco leds :) .

with the ones i just ordered i actually paid more for shipping then i did the bulbs because i didnt want to wait. 3 day select :) but meh. we will see how it turns out. thank you for the links.

right now im waiting on my white 20 smd bulbs to come in so i can finish the map lights and the license plate. i was going to put one under the hood. but i dont have a spot for a bulb under my hood. i also have them for the trunk and glove box as well. ive already converted all the lower bulbs with blue. and the cluster with blue and the 2 back seat uppers with blue till i get more whites. once those are complete ill be converting the standard bulbs on the out side to leds as well. with the exception of the HID that is.

theres something addicting about using leds. the pure white light and the colors being vivid just look very nice in these rides. I really like how the 6000k white bulbs light up the interior and then lower blue bulbs give it a glow effect on the leather.
 
Like everyone said, those little bulbs are #73 (not 37 or maybe 37 is the same - I don't know) and #74 mini wedge bulbs.
