Hello, I changed all my bulb's with LEDs. What a change. I got most of all mine from www.superbrightleds.com. They will tell you what fits your year. Best way is to make list and then order then. Any qustions let me know.

Have you removed the bulbs? They usually have the bulb number stamped on them. These are generic bulbs, and you can get them almost anywhere. There are a lot of 194, 74 and 212 bulbs in my car.

My Factory Service Manual has a list of the bulbs...

I also have changed all my interior bulbs to LEDs. I like the white light much better than the yellow incandescents. ...And they don't run down my battery when I have to doors open to work on my car.

He's interested in the "back-lighting" in the switches. They're not "typical"! I don't believe any are available any longer but a talented individual I believe can accomplish it. One is the same as that used in the DICnof the '90+ car, the other I believe different.

These are correct I believe:

Window switches - 10148011, mirror - 10159559

The least expensive "procurement" would be from a car being parted. When available the bulb/socket had a quite hefty price tag on them. Later GM's might work but the bulbs were rated in amps I believe. Remove one and maybe compare.
