Default 2004 Dakota Overhead Console Light bulbs for homelink buttons

I am having trouble finding the light bulbs for the overhead console homelink buttons. There are 3 of them and they are very small. Does anybody have a part number or where I can buy them? Thanks, Phil

They light up? I don't think mine do. Just plain rubber buttons on mine.

Thanks for the quick reply. The buttons themselves do not light up, but there are 3 places directly beneath the buttons with one, two and three white dots which have light bulbs behind them. So that you can see which button you are pressing at night. Thanks, Phil

All three are out? Did they just all go out at once? Most likely LED's since it would be difficult a make an incandescent bulb that small.

You're right. I never took notice, but indeed, the white dots are there. Mine do not light up either. I assume you've dug into it and not just guessing that there are bulbs back there. It makes sense that they would be LED, since that whole unit seems to be lit that way.

Default Overhead console bulbs

There are 3 bulbs in a twist base. The bulbs are miniature T1 bulbs with 2 wires that thread through the base and are attached to the sides of the base. I found them on Amazon bulb #7219. A pack of 10 are $5.65.
