Interior dome light bulb
Anyone have a source for these bulbs? I figured they would be fairly common and easy to find, but I'm having a tough time finding one. I found some that the parts store said would fit, but they are too large and too long. They are LED and would have been great, but no fit.

I assume you have Festoon bulbs. They come in at least 4 different sizes (length in mm), so you should measure your old one first.

I bought this one, was slightly too long to be a perfect fit but I got it in there with a little nudging: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2X-6000K-Su...item419005d4e8

Those are 31, so you think these are mayne a 30mm or even 29? Why are these things so hard to find now?

My bulbs are 31mm. Of course, you should measure the one you are holding.

I've got my stock one and I will try and measure it I guess.
|
I just replaced mine with a an led board from a china seller on ebay. WOW! what a difference. It's amazing, it even illuminates the footwells.
|
These are the measurements from mine, they fit great. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.yot...7d24f5f11.jpeg |
Putting that LED bulb in is like trying to catch a greased pig... haven't had that much fun since the hogs ate my baby sister...
|
Mine was more of a square 2"x2" led panel and the festoon bulb contacts have wires from the contact to the panel. very easy to install.
|
Well, mine measures 30.30 from the best I can tell. My factory one measures 27.6 or 27.7. Maybe I didnt work at it hard enough, but I just dont see it going in. If yall say it will, I'll try again. That looks like the one some use here and I'm not seeing any smaller/shorter ones

If it makes you feel any better (worse?), Sylvania thinks your vehicle takes a DE3175. https://www.sylvania-automotive.com/apps/vlrg-us/Vlrg/ Which is, you guessed it, 31mm long.
The support clips are relatively flexible metal; they have to squeeze the ends of the bulb. Will they accommodate another 3mm? Well, I don't know, but I would be really surprised if your vehicle took a smaller bulb than the rest of us. |
I'd like to see if anyone comes up with the same measurement as I did on the factory bulb. I'll try these again, but I'd like to find something that fit a little easier. Not a huge deal, but aggravating

I ordered off Amazon what I thought was the correct LED replacement bulb for my '94 Yota PU. I was wrong, it was too short. I filled the gap with a wad of aluminum foil. Been working great for 2 months.
