The bulbs that light up the buttons on the overhead console (reset home link etc) they also are the back lighting for other stuff inside. Where can I get them or does anyone have a part number. Here is a pic
They look like the same bulb that goes in my AC control head panel. I had a couple of the bulbs go out about 4 or 5 years ago and and the only place I could find them was at the Dodge dealer. I seem to remember they cost about $2.25 each. Now you can buy 3 bulbs for $8.00 with free shipping on Amazon:
I did not really know much about Amazon back when I bought mine at the dealer. The dealer parts guy had what I needed and the new bulbs were an exact match to the old one.

I only needed 2 bulbs back when I bought mine at the dealer. I ordered 6 just in case I needed more later on and I replaced all 3 bulbs in my AC control head just so I would not have to take it all apart again later to replace the remaining original bulb. The other 3 bulbs I have on hand are still in the original plastic bags with Mopar part #1-05013815AA on it. I got one out of my parts box this morning and it does look very similar to your picture but the plastic base is different. On my bulbs the plastic mounting tabs are molded and shaped different and my bulbs have 2 electric contacts on the sides of the bulb that I do not see in your picture. It may be best to stop by the dealer parts counter, give them your VIN and let them see what they come up with. The console bulb may be a lower wattage than an AC control or cluster bulb.
The FSM does not list the console bulb either, all it says is "some lamps are replaceable only after disassembly by an authorized service center". I would not trust this to Amazon or Rock Auto. The Dodge parts guy should be able to look up the exact bulb you need and order it or at least give you a part number to find NOS or an exact aftermarket match bulb if the OEM bulb is unavailable now.

i tried to find the mini bulbs to illuminate my headlight switch and they are the same type as these. They are called neo wedge. Look up T-1 neo wedge bulbs. they come in different sizes like t-2 t-3 t-4 and t-5 depending on the size of the base and the height, some are long and thin. The new thing is they are all offered with leds now, but i had an issue where the mini circuit board that the led mounts to was a hair too big to allow the bulb to fit in the hole. The sizes and shapes are somewhat confusing too, i couldnt find a definitive chart showing what sizes fit what. So do some research to figure out exactly what number you will need, but those are definetely the type bulbs you need.
