Default Automatic shifter P R N D illuminated lighting bulb...

Does anybody know what kind of bulb that is in the park, reverse, neutral and drive area for the shifter. I removed it looking to find an LED version of it or anything. It's a small 194 type looking bulb, but quite small. I tried to find what kind it is online, but didn't find any information.

thanks

Thanks alot! I believe a bulb is going to be better for emitting light instead of an LED

@layedoutxa:

I know this is a little off topic but thanks for shipping me that head unit. We PWXA brothers gotta stick together and help each other out!

Good luck swapping out the lights in the dash. I recently did my A/C control ones with white LEDs and it looks tons better than the factory yellow/amber color.

I had an LED in there at first. It was a little too focused and led to some hotspots. It also began shorting out a few months after I installed it.

I switched to one of the bulbs I posted above and it's better. Not as bright, but very even... besides, how bright does that one need to be? I considered just leaving it out altogether.

So did I, I just wanted the blue to match my HVAC lighting and all.

thanks
