Hi all,
I am trying to change the dash illumination of my car from green to red and i was able to take out some of the bulbs that need a change of color. I need help in trying to figure out what these bulbs are and where i can buy them. They are not available in the local Toyota dealership as separate spares i can buy.

Curiously, the green color on them is just rubber caps so i guess if i can find red caps that should be enough.

cheers.

1st is posibly a 194 the second is most likely a neo wedge
Neo - Wedge Instrument Panel Bulbs are 10mm (3/8") diameter x 13mm (1/2") high- half way down the page

and the 3rd possibly a 74 see link above

Those are not 194 bulbs. You are better off getting different colored rubber caps, or solder LED and resistor for each. That's how I change the colors when doing interior lighting work.

I have ordered the red caps, when i receive them i will try and see if they work to my plan else i will consider buying some of these bulbs. I think atleast the first two seem to be on that page, the third i am not so sure.

cheers.

I couldnt find the right sized rubber caps. Does anyone know where i can get caps for these ?
thanks.

try a sharpie and some plastic wrap or some colored gels (plastic colored sheets) you can find at a craft shop.

the first two bulbs are using extensively in my car. They are not 194, 194 is huge compared to these

I successfully changed my car to blue leds using those wedge bases and a resistor.

They're expensive too. dealer wants 8 dollars a bulb for my car

they go by part number 4437661 for my car

pics later

trust me and just swap out red leds and reuse the base. those tiny bulbs are expensive and finding a red cap that works well is a challenge
