Window switch bulb number? Does anyone know the number for the very small bulb that projects down onto the window switches? I was going to take it and match it up at the store but it broke trying to get it out.

The books aren't much help. Its a 74.
You'll find that they are nearly impossible to get out of the socket. My method is to take a 2" piece of duct tape, and fold it in to a tab over the bulb. Then pull on the bulb and tab. The extra tab and stickiness of the tape will give better grip than your fingers. If that fails, you may have to go with pliers - but that usually shatters the bulb and makes a horrible mess.

Yeah 74 works, it was not anywhere that I could find in the online bulb guide or the owners manual. I ended up going down the isle and picking out the one that looked small enough. There was only the one that was even close in size. Mine broke and I had to go with the pliers. lol.
