Same here Mike. Pretty sure that this bulb wont have its own fuse...so where do we go now.....everything else works fine BTW.

Anyone shed any light ????

I didn't read this entire thread but has anyone mentioned that there could be a thingy that blocks the light in the headlight switch?

I bought a few bulbs because I had some lights out. When I opened the headlight switch the light was on and there was a little round piece of plastic between the bulb and the headlight symbol. I took that out and then the headlight switch was too bright. I put the plastic back in and one day I'll replace it with something opaque to block part of the light.

With all these 1.2W bulbs out, I just had a brilliant idea! How about a group buy? Shipping would only be 30 times the cost of each bulb.

They wedge bulbs are on the bottom of the page and they have some thin ones on the second page.
Thanks for that page, I think Ill order some LED festoon bulbs so if I leave my interior light on or trunk open too long I wont have to worry as much

Do you happen to know what the part number is at Advance? I just got bulbs from AutoZone and, while they look the same size, the AutoZone bulb is just a bit too big to fit in that little hole.

Never mind - I only skimmed this thread earlier. Going back and reading thru the posts really helped.
I'm off to Wally mart or Advance to find that Sylvania 2721 bulb.

BTW, the bulb they gave me at AutoZone was the Sylvania 74LL (I believe LL stands for "Long Life"). They look real close in size while in the blister pack, but the diameter is just a tad too big.

Thanks!

There's actually 2 long winded threads for this light bulb at least.

We're either incredibly dumb, incredibly **** or incredibly bored.....

Sorry...little did I know when I started this thread 5 years ago. However, I have a feeling it will continue to pop up 5 years from now, so get used to it.

I suppose I may belong in the 1st 2 categories, but I'm certainly not bored.


I got the Sylvania 2721 bulbs - worked like a charm! My analness has been appeased.
