HVAC Panel Lights

Thanks for the ongoing help, Hesselhoff!
I found quite a few ebay listings for my 2008 Dakota, though they all list bulb # T5/T4.7 instead of your number b8.4D. Though that number T5/T4.7 is also cross referenced to the 2006 Ram ads on ebay, just like you said.
So I guess I will order these unless you tell me they are wrong:

Those look way closer to what I pulled out of mine! https://www.ebay.ca/itm/20PCS-12MM-W...item4d7b4597b2 ORDERED!

Well, at the last minute I decided to go for the LED lights. I finally put them in tonight. The lamp bases seem to fit great but they do not light up. So I am going to try the OEM style bulbs in hopes that there is no problem with the circuit board in my HVAC controls.
Hey, @northgator8 did you really buy that package of 20 bulbs? If you don't really want that many I will offer to buy 3 of them from you. Please let me know.

I am not sure what you mean by turning them around. They seem to only go in one way. Being shaped like a coin, the light side can only go in pointed down into the hole. Then the only way to turn them around would be the direction which you twist them into the hole. Can you elaborate please?

Yes I ordered them, but they haven't dropped through the mail slot yet. I need the three for my panel, another 6 to re-lamp the two panels the I procured. And I will want to keep a few around just because. If you can't get your LEDs working, pm me and we can work something out.
We'll try again.

Eureka!
@Hesselhoff thanks for the tip about the polarity! I mean, what are the odds I would install all 3 of them bass ackwards? Ummm.... about 1 in 6, actually.
@northgator8 Sorry your lights didn't work. Seems I bought a ridiculous number of LED's. Got 20 of them but only needed 3. So I will offer to sell the extras to you. Only thing to consider is I got blue colored LEDs and as you'll see in the picture, it looks a little off in contrast to the greenish dashboard and radio. I still like it, so you might too.
