what is the size of the wedge base of the cluster bulbs?

my car is 03 maxima se.
I got my warm white LEDs and installed today...3 of them are very good.. the other one, I dont know whats the problem...it just wont light up, I tried flip the led, I tried put the original bulb in , still no luck. I think the wedge base is broken...but I dont know where I screwed up...Where can I get the wedge bases? what is the size? thanks..

Dealer sells them, with the bulbs in them, but your better off buying a broken cluster for parts and using the bases. The bulb size themselves are #24 or T6.5.

**EDIT** Part # 2626201P40, they are only $5 each not bad.

Yeah, It's the bulb and socket, unfortunately they sell it like that, just like a primer and a carburetor, most manufacturers don't sell the primer separately lol. Not a problem your welcome.

http://nissan4u.com/ for part numbers, I've been ordering parts from www.1stnissanparts.com for the past 5 years without a problem, they have the best prices online although minimum shipping charge is $9.99.
