go to superbrightleds.com and search for "T1.5" its the only T1.5 on the website. oh if you are going to ask how to take out the bulb, SEARCH. coz if you dont, you'll hear a lot of the "SEARCH button is your friend" comments. hahaha!

Oddly, some tCs just don't have them. I believe that the socket is there, but someone over in Japan forgot to install it.

All tCs are supposed to have them, it's just that someone messed up in the manufacturing and never installed the bulb.

I'm thinking about taping a piece of tint over it because the white LED I have in there currently is too bright. I've also used the UV LED and that was pretty cool if you don't mind the purplish light. Comes in handy for checking authentic US currency.

You want the #74 Bulb without the Twist Lock Base.

superbrightleds.com


For some of you who didn't know it was there; I bet the wiring is there, they just forget to install it. 2 ways to get to it; 1. Disassemble your Center Console controls (Radio, HVAC Controls and Shift Surround Pieces.) Or, 2. Pop out the clip in the rug by the Center Console on the passenger side foot area. After that, you can reach inside and feel for the wiring. Both take less than 5 mins.
