Tired of burnt out dash switch bulbs? Super cheap and easy fix to DIY.
The door lock/unlock, rear defrost, and fog lamp switches all take T1 bulbs with bare leads that can be bent around into their holder. No soldering needed. Got mine here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L8BR76A/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The T 1-3/4 bulbs for the rear fan switch were harder to track down. Eventually found perfect fits here: https://www.bulbtown.com/FLM0060_T1_1_2_Tan_PC_Socket_w_E37_Red_Silicon_p/flm0060.htm
-----------------------------
Figured it out! it's a "T-1 3/4". Found a drop on replacement that works perfectly, complete with the screw in base and silicone cap to change the color for $0.99 at a place called Bulb Town. They shipped to me in just a couple days.
OEM on the right with orange cap. Replacement on the left with red cap. Despite the red silicone cap it looks orange when the switch is on.
