Default The light for the window switches?

This is the little bitty light that goes right over the power window switches. Anybody know the part number?

For the bulb? I think it's a 37, but I could be wrong. But I wasn't able to find an exact number for it after doing a quick search. I know it's itty bitty and looks the same as the one for the auto trans indicator. I've replaced that one and it was a 37. Both of my door lights are burned out, but I couldn't manage to get the bulbs out. They're so tiny and I was afraid of breaking it.

Ya, I'm kinda scared of that myself! I just had the door apart fixing my speaker and thought I might as well fix the bulb too.

I had a really hard time just with the indicator. I tried for awhile with the door and just gave up. The bulbs pull right out, but they're just so tiny and in there very tightly, so I just said screw it. I added pink LEDs in the door instead, haha.

Lol I wouldn't expect so. Just an idea though...haha. But if you do end up changing the bulbs, good luck! And try not to break anything.

The only thing I am really worried about is the bulb breaking and slicing my fingers open. With a bulb that small it has to have real thin glass. Willing to bet that will slice real nice!

Yeah, that would really not be the most fun time. Maybe try to wear some thin gloves when you do it? It's hard though because you have to get such a firm grip on the bulb. And they're just so damn tiny. I tried using like one of those rubber can opener pads and part of a drawer mat that is really grippy, but I still couldn't get enough grip on it. Maybe you'd have better luck than I did using something like that to help.

use a pair of needle nosed pliers and break the glass, pull on the electrodes inside the bulb and it will come out just fine. That is how I remove mine. And Darling is correct the bulbs are #37.

Wow, I was actually right about something. Imagine that. I'm assuming it only took a few minutes to change them?
