Light on rear view mirror

Does anyone know the replacement LED bulb size that will fit in the two lights under the rear view mirror? Ive been looking for awhile now and can't find out what it is.

Any help would be great!

Matt

true

Don't be alarmed if they stay on very dim rather than shutting of completely. The circuit always has a litlle current. It is not enough to light a standard bulb but LEDs don't shut off completely. They don't use enough current to run down your battery.
If it bugs you add a resistor into the circuit.

Thanks for the info! Would this be the same bulb that is used for the side markers, reverse, and 3rd tails? Looking to replace them all at the same time, and they all appear to have essentially the same connection.

Thanks again!

Reverse lights are larger and I believe the 3rd brake bulbs are not a wedge style. But it fits for the map lights, license plate light and side markers. Here's the reverse lights.

Haha no problem man. Ya I ordered 4 so I could run one as a license plate bulb too. I put them in my side markers but it made no difference brightness wise so I just took them out.

Huh they must have just changed that. I've ordered a few sets at different times and they have always come as a pair.

If you have a sunroof you will have lights in your rear view instead of a dome light (sucks cause you can't see **** in the backseat because of it)


Blue lightning literally just gave me the ones from his side markers so I could run em in my rear view! Let me tell you they are bright! Very nice. And at the cost of free they are a steal! Haha. And 1.99 is a good deal too I suppose.

I got an led panel off ebay for my dome also (the one that comes on when you open the door) and it's bright as hell. Lights up the whole interior of my car. $7 shipped lol.
