Seat Heater Light Bulb

Hi all, I will be a few dollars richer this weekend when I take the center console apart to fix my coin holder.

Since the center console will be removed, I figured I will change the light bulb in the seat heater switch since they are out. However, I cannot find any info on the kind of bulbs that are in those switches, anyone has any ideas? Please advise.

Thanks,

-- Sam

So I finally got to fix my coin holder and while I was taking the center console apart, I played with the seat heater. The LED is similar to the clock LED and since I had just replaced the clock LED with one bulb left from the Radioshack package, I replaced the seat heater with it. The seat heater LED had a teal color latex on the bulb itself (not sure why but I put that into my new bulb anyway) and now the I have light (even though I think it is a little brighter, but it is daytime and I can't really see how bright the lights are. I just know I saw light)!!!

The new LED is a little bit brighter than the original one, but at least there's light now. That thing has been out since I got my car (13 months) ago, so it is the first time that I've seen it light up.
