can someone tell me what bulb it is that goes in the roof by the sunroof switches as mine missing.

Also I cant seem to find any loxwood white dials for mine so if I kept the black dials has anyone changed the color of the bulbs? and would it work? what bulbs go in the clocks is it the little ones that twist in?

also you cant get lockwood dials, your dials should be the grey faced ones with the volt meter which are already rare Very Happy

and yeh your right it does have the voltimeter built in but do u think i could change the colour of the bulbs at least so it a bit more than just dull white Sad

something like a red or blue or even yellow or green Very Happy

damn i oredered the wrong ones Sad

the ones you guys have listed is for the rear i need one for the front, I oredered Item number: 350119478294 but they are too big, same fitement but needs to be smaller.

anyone know what bulb it is?

Subject: Re: interior bulb Mon Jul 16, 2012 12:26 pm

how much bigger is it? the bulb I got was a bit bigger than the stock one too, but I was still able to jam it in to the socket. It just barely fits. or is the bulb significantly larger?

BTW, your avatar is very funny lol

Subject: Re: interior bulb Mon Jul 16, 2012 1:11 pm

Show me a picture of your light. Because that bulb in auction 350119478294 is the correct bulb for the standard Corolla map light (the one I had).

Subject: Re: interior bulb Mon Jul 16, 2012 7:53 pm

one on the left is what I need, the blue one is what came on ebay but is too large. and it wont fit in the hole that it locks into Sad

Subject: Re: interior bulb Mon Jul 16, 2012 9:51 pm

Yeah, that is definitely too big. Weird.

O wait.... it's BA9, not BA15. That will do it.

And I would recommend something like this

instead of a blue-colored bulb. The LED will actually be blue, and it will be bright.

perfect thanks gold, Tbh I had looked into the leds but didnt like the look of the connectors but the link u have given has the adapters so it will be perfect thankyou Very Happy
