I am looking for a bulb for hazard lights switch. I would prefer a halogen one because I'm worried LED would be too bright. What is this type of bulb called? Does somebody have an oem number? It sure is small.
I don't think it would be possible because the bulb is placed in this plastic pretty tight, it seems unremovable (bulb glass broke when I tried to remove it).
I've done it on several of my bulbs, just unwind the wires on the old bulb, pull it out (doesn't matter if it breaks) put the new 286 bulb in and fold the wires around the pegs, job done. Beats the price of the ready-made ones.
Thank you @MODVRS for giving me the idea on these bulbs. I've done a little research:
- 286 bulbs are used for the clock, ashtray, heater control knobs illumination and possibly for other stuff too. They're the biggest: 18mm in length and 7.5mm diameter. These are the easiest to buy and change as you just pull them out from the base and replace.
I got my replacement bulbs I mentioned up there and replaced the old ones in these various plastic bulb holders. Now my dash buttons light up like christmas tree. I'm very happy with results.
