on mine the light was out when i got it. the bulb, coloredtube, and whatever held it in place was missing. I stuck thepart of thebulb that plugs in thru the hole then connected it to the receptical. I used a green 194 bulb. It is very bright so i turn it down a little but i like having alot of light there, you can see ashes or dog slobber before i take a sip.lol

 

thanks much, i went out there after i posted this and looked at it with a flashlight and i was like Duhh.

but thanks anyways

 

No problem.

aim4squirrels, I think you're right, 194 sounds like the right bulb type. Sylvania's lamp replacement guide lists both as types of bulbs in our interiors, so either is possible. cdusthockey, did you figure out what type it was?

 

ha didnt even look, i had a few extra bulbs laying around the garage and i didnt even look to see what number it was, ill look tomorrow

 

little late, but the bulb size is 161 for anyone who cares to know. i had and extra 166 that i put in and it works fine

 

well you learn something new everyday, I thought these trucks were a little dark on the inide, seeing as none of the lights on any of my switches work, this one didn't surprise me too much. I've only got the instrument panel and radio for light!

 

I have an 01 Dakota sport and the bulb above the cup holder is a # 74.

 

Nice, you bumped a ten year old thread, and you have a wrong truck. This is for the 2nd gen Ram.
