It seems that my headlight switch as well as the 2wd/4wd switch don't light up anymore when I turn on my headlights at night. Does anyone know how to take the headlight switch out so I can access the bulb and replace it? Same thing with the 2wd/4wd switch? This is for a 2001 Durango. Thanks.

 

I know on some GM vehicles you could change the bulbs and on some they are sealed units and use led type lights and cant be changed.

 

IIRC, the units you are refferring to cannot be opened to replace the bulbs. They are sold as whole units. You can try at a junkyard to see how to get them out of the dash so you don't ruin your own when you install the replacements.

 

I was able to access the rear of the switches. The head light switch does indeed take 2 instrument cluster bulbs that are only available at the dealer. 1 is for the foglight indicator and the other bulb lights up the headlight icons at night. The 4x4 selector **** however, does not use an accessible bulb and is a sealed unit.

 

Thanks for the update!

 

I stand corrected! Thank you for increasing my knowledge of our beloved Ds.

 

I realize this is an old thread, but does anyone know the part# for either of those two bulbs? My local dealer cannot find them anywhere and I have the same issue with the one for the light switch (not the fog lights) blown.

It appears to be some kind of micro bulb.

Thanks,
Brian

 

i know this is an old thread but i just recently had this problem so i found the light bulbs that seem to be a pain in everyone's back side the part # is 7219 and can be found here https://www.bulbtown.com
