On the subject.... Where do you get the bulb?!
I took my switch apart... and its crazy small.

You pull the plastic around the gauge cluster off, then the switch area is right there, and you take that out as a whole unit. then on top of it there is this tiny black top with a notch in it, you unscrew it then pow there is this extremely small bulb (that makes the #74 bulb you use for the rest of the back lights of gauges and door handle light look big)


I don't know where to get it, but its easy to get at in the car.

the headlight switch bulb is a plug and play, no soldering.

I know about that one. But I'm not looking for an LED replacement.

Default NEO3-xHP LED bulb

The Guz... it is an LED replacement. I'll be buying the NEO3-xHP LED bulb from SuperBrightLEDs.com (amazing website btw!) and finish my full interior LED conversion. I will let you know how it turns out and post pics if available.

An old thread. As I stated I know it's an LED replacement that was posted in the link. I was not looking to go LED but rather a halogen replacement.

I just had to do that on my 00 WS6 and went with the LED. I didn't even notice a difference and it'll last longer.
