Stock in your climate controls and hazard button are tiny bulbs, not LED's. You'll need 3mm or 5mm LED's with resistors, either will fit. I used 3mm for the hazard button and 5mm for the ambient lighting in the climate controls.

Below is the info on the LED group deal.

The stock bulbs are bulbs... not LED's.

I guess you'd have to get them at the dealer because they have very unique mounting bases. You could also take out the bulbs and get an equivalent replacement from Radio Shack for probably much cheaper than the dealer would charge you and re-use your old mounting bases.

Yeah, the Radio Shack guys are not the brightest. I needed a tool that sucks up solder and the guy told me "No, we don't carry that." Then I walked past him to the wall and showed it to him hanging behind him. He just gave me a sheepish smile and apologized. Another time I needed a 470K ohm resistor for the knock sensor bypass and they didn't find it in the drawer of resistors so again, "Sorry, we don't carry them that big." So I asked for their parts book and found it so they can order it.

They have a big book of parts and stuff. Just ask to see if you can look for it yourself in their parts book. Go under bulbs and look for one of similar size and make sure it works on 12v of power. They might even have a picture.

Good luck.
