Default seat warmer light bulb size

I searched but I can't find the bulb size for the butt warmer and PWR/SNOW button. I took apart the whole assy and the bulb is this really small thing the size of a pencil lead. It's driving me nuts that I have the light on for the passenger but not for the driver so if anyone can chime, please do so.

Thanks in advance.

They're called neo wedge bulbs.

This place is a bit pricey, but they're the only place I know that carries them. They're about half way down the page.

go to your local dealer i paid like 5 bucks a bulb. make sure you keep the green condom lookin things from the old bulbs. they slip rite on the new ones. and be carefull with the coffe next time

If you pull the bulb you can go to Radio Shack and get the bulbs. I believe that these were the ones that I used.

12V Microlamps (2-Pack) $1.69 per package
Model: 272-1092 | Catalog #: 272-1092
2-pack of replacement flashlight and incandescent microlamps. Rated 12V with a current of 60mA.

I replaced all of mine while I had the console off. There is one that is a slight bit larger and I don't remember if I got that there or not.


Have a great day.
