not ordinary light bulbs

I've searched around for the bulb number for these bulbs with no luck. Does anyone know the bulb number for the green bulb that lights up the cigarette lighter as well as the super small bulbs that light up the P and the C on the power/comfort trans switch. Mine all are burt out and the local auoparts store looked at me like I was crazy. Thanks

I'm not sure about the exact part number, but I believe the one for the ashtray is just a standard LED, you should be able to pick one up at Radio Shack for about $0.20 at the most.

It's not a green bulb/LED. It's a clear LED with a green/amber plastic cover.

I know. I just replaced mine. Got replacement bulb from Autozone. RadioShack didn't have it.

im pretty sure its a standard 194 or maybe the 168 bulb. I think its called 168, its something 16x if it is. I am pretty sure its a 194 series bulb, same for the glovebox, gauges, doors, and the temp controls.

oh yea, the "little covers"(the green and amber and blue for the SE gauges) as you guys are calling them are infact called "Condoms" and the blue ones for the SE gauges are crap, they turn out white.

Do you recall the bulb number is it 194 or 168, like the other guys had mentioned? Also any ideas about the tiny bulbs for the power/comfort switch? Thanks

Here is a thread that was responded to today. Craig put the part numbers for the little bulbs in and they are the same for the p c lights.

Not sure about the lighter because I havent taken it out in a while but if it is between a 194 and 168 either one would work I think the only difference is the wattage and I dont think that is by much.

i'd put my money on 194 bulbs. also I remember hearing that the 168 series are 5volts while the 194's are 3.3volts. I would search the forums before asking me anymore questions because thats about all i know to that extent. I learned about it here too.
also if you can get actual blue bulbs vs. the condom'd bulbs you will be much happier.
why does everyone like blue? its my color. soon im going to be forced to use purple or some other "queer" color. (sorry guys who like purple, just my computers mod'ed blue and 1/2 my car is and it seems like everyone else is)

also I remember the little Power and Confort lights to be "lil bastards" to take out.

Thanks man I read that thread while initially searching, guess I overlooked that link. I appreciate the help. By the way at Advanced autoparts the lighter bulb was number 74. Its much smaller than the 168 or 194. Thanks again for the help.
