Rear View Mirror Light Bulbs

Its a stupid question but BOTH of my lights are blown on the rear view mirror. Does anyone know what bulbs go in there and where to get them? Thanks!

If you look in the owner's manual, it says the reading lamps are 212-2. An auto parts store should have them. Take one with you to make sure.

If you want LED's for the map lights, one of the site's supporting vendors, LEDguages.com sells them. I think they have white and blue at this time. I plan to get the white ones eventually. I think for $29, you get both map lights and the dome light. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Rebel, What vendor are you talking about? White LEDs would be cool.

Thanks guys!

There are downloadable pdf versions of the owner's manuals on my website. Now, you have no excuse.

The webpage is http://www.ledgauges.com/. Their link to the LED bulbs says under construction right now. His member name is LEDGAUGES. PM him and tell him what you want. I haven't dealt with him yet, but others on here have and seem to be happy with the product and service.

You wont believe this...I changed the bulbs...they work fine.....except when I open the driver door. When I open the passenger door they work fine. What the heck can it be?!?!?

???? I thought the bulbs were just blown?.. If they only work by switching them on, and by opening the passenger door, then it's more than likely the switch on the driver's door. It's a little plunger switch on the doorjamb, up against the front fender and between the hinges. It's either unplugged, shorted out/broken wire, or the switch is bad.
