I am doing a complete LED conversion both inside and out. I will have the interior changed over except the light bulbs in the driver door in the power window switch and the side mirrors control. Would anyone know the bulb size? I looked in my FSM and no luck. Tried reading some old threads but again no luck.
Thanks Hawkeye56

Take no offense, but you have lot of time on your hands.

Remember the old saying, if it's not broken leave it alone, cause you can open up a bucket of worms.

Their is a lot of truth in that statement.

Did this recently to my 84 but can't remember the bulb #s. There's so many different types you're almost better off taking each one out and making a list then buying them all.
let me see what I can find on my purchase history

Link
I remember these loop type were at the DS and PS knees and console lid light


4 of 1157 for brakes
6 of 1156 for reverse and side markers
Lots of T10 , 8 not including the dash lights
Amber 1157 for front parking lights
211-2 for door map lights and under hood lights

So even with all that the LEDs were crazy brighter inside, but the hatch area was still pitifully dim, so I had some left over led strips from another project, and I tied them into the halo lights and had their tiny wires come out at the joint in the halo trim and pressed them along the edge of the trim, much better lighting there now

Link on the adhesive backed strips

Do you believe that the T10 is the correct size for the area I referred to? I have all ready replaced the other ones you referred to.The dash I left alone since it is bright enough.
Thanks Hawkeye56
