Yep, small bulb on each side, 194, will look like this. Buy several packs, they also do the marker lights around the truck and the "city light" bulb in the head light assembly. Why would I pontificate on this? Because in my county they started writing tickets for $85 for driving with a light out. Any light.

g'morning, Savannah Buzz... i flipped through owner's manual looking for bulb replacement 411 and didn't find any reference to lights other than main front light, loadspace light, glove box light and vanity mirror light... do the bulbs "back light" the gear selection and can they be found underneath the gear selection? Please pretend I am blonde... not that hard sometimes... :-)

yup bulb selection and resourcing isn't easy. there are some threads and the roversnorth buying guide...and of course the rave but it's all presented part by part so you need to essentially build the list of bulbs and then go and replace them one by one on hand as separate jobs. There's also usually a trick or two in testing connectivity as several problems can arise giving you "strange" results. You should also go and clean the electrical connections and use some of that dielectric grease.

really, you just got to get in there. as usual, you learn a ton by just doing it.
