Does anyone know where I could find the map light bulb bright enough to match the OEM one? All I could find about the bulb in the manual was that it's 12V 10W, so I got one from Auto Zone, but it's not even half as bright as the original one.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^

 

when i got my 98 the light didnt work, i ran around looking for it. autozone wasnt helpful to me at all. I finally ended up at the nissan dealership to get it. So im not sure the differences in your brightness. but for me its pretty bright. I think it cost lik3 $3 or something.

 

The map light in the I30 (1996) is number 1895. I am trying to find one that is pure white to match the dome light that I changed out to pure white. I saw a website once that had bulbs that replace the 1895 bulbd that were LED's. They had a large range of colors and everything. I will try and find this site for you and post it in here.

Hope this helped?

 

CustomMaxima.com has all the interior bulbs you need (plus more), but they're Polarg Hypers, which are a purer white with a hint of blue. They're also a bit more expensive. If you want a duplicate of the factory bulb that burned out, I agree with Negativezero - hit the dealership. Surely they couldn't rip you off TOO badly over a single interior bulb.

 

where did u get ur pure white bulbs?

 

I picked them up at PepBoys believ it or not. I can check to see what kind they are and will post on here once I find out. I think I still have the package in the trunk of the car. the light is pure white! I am still trying to find pure white bulbs for the visor mirrors as well as this map light. I can't seem to find them anywhere in town. Maybe on line though.

 

can anyone recommend a good BLUE map light replacement?

 

Thread revived! Huzzah!!!

Has anyone gotten this bulb to work in their max? I just got em in the mail and it's not working in my car either.

 

Oh its really easy to find you kind of need to guess and check, I'll go grab the package I bought from a local auto part store and take some pictures.

 

What bulb, exactly? You seemed to imply that a specific bulb has been discussed shortly before your post, but I see no indication of that.

If you just want a replacement bulb, then:

10w:
26232-F1100, $2.37 each at Courtesy

8w:
26282-5L300, $3.10 each at Courtesy

 

Here is the bulb that I found to fit, its pretty bright when new but when it gets old it turns a slight yellow, but still good haha

 

Is that one of the bulbs next to it, or is that a shell casing?

 

Its the casing and the bulb haha, I took it out to show the size and such.

 

oh sh** i posted in the wrong one... fail on my part for having too many .org windows open...

On a side note I feel like crawling into a hole out of shame now...

 

I just got my map light bulb in..Along with other light goodies for the Max..
If you want a really pure bright white get this.

^ That's for the dome buddy, we're talking about the map, the one for the front passenger and driver.
But like I said earlier, I posted in the wrong thread by mistake...
