96 door lock / window switch illumination

[domer94]

do you guys know what bulb i need for the window switch / door lock on passenger side for 96 two door? i found one on ebay but think its for the window lock driver side - its small blue bulb. i hate to buy a whole new switch pack for that even though they are about $30 bucks new. mine is in good shape otherwise

I just swapped all my switch bulbs this weekend to LED's. I would definitely recommend you go with them. I changed to red but you can get the white if you want to stay stock. For the passenger side you need what is called a NEO4. It is a 4mm bulb.

The bulbs for the window switches in OBS trucks need to be soldered in just a FYI

hmm, mine seemed to have replaceable bulbs in removable sockets.

Donnie, mine were not soldered. The only soldered bulbs I ran into during my bulb swap was the 4x4 switch and rear window wiper switch. Everything else was a socket style including all the door window and lock switches.

Can one of you post pictures IIRC I could have swore they were soldered I could be corrected tho

How many do you need?

 

[Donnie Yukonie]

Well I guess I stand corrected ... Carry on

They are not soldered

do you know if one of thos same ones lights up the lock switch as well ?

 

[SunlitComet]

yes.

thanks. the balls on them for getting $5+ for a damn bulb! is there a line on a cheap replacement from radioshack / autozone etc etc? im not a cheap ass but some of this stuff burns me up. the ebay bulb wants $8 to ship a $5 bulb!! a whole new switch assembly is $21!

they are just trying to cover all there cost profit as much as possible. some people still pay for it. try superbrightleds it is where I got mine. don't think the shack will stock those locally. also try mouser.com it is oem supply heaven with them.
