ok I got the front headlights swapped out and gonna get the little drl lights swapped first thing in the morning. I am having an issue with my front dome light. It works with the doors are open and you lock and unlock the doors but when you manually turn it on, it doesn't. I've tried 3 other dome lights and all the same issue. Any advice? On the instrument cluster part, what size bulbs does it take and how many, gonna swap to led and needed the info since I had to pick up a few more to start with. Thanks in advance

I am slowly swapping all lights to LED. I have already did dome lights and license plate lights. Was thinking of instrument cluster next, so if you find out let me know. In most cases I have taken the existing bulb to local parts store and they were able to figure out OEM equivalent.

 

Check eBay

I saw that listing and contacted the buyer. My other issue is still driving me nuts though. Why does why front dome light not turn on by the switch but turn on with the doors open and such

 

There is a ground at the light.

i can't remember if it's one of the mounting nuts or a wire. But I suspect it's that.

edit: just remembered. If it's the front dome there is a wire with black elecrical connector that connects to the chasis of the light.

 

it is the front dome and I'll pull it and check. Like I said the other functions of the lights work perfectly except the manual on part of the light

 

Sounds like the switch itself. Can you pop it out and check the contacts?

 

yea and all were fine on 3 different switches

 

It may sound crazy since they turn on with the doors but if it's an LED light, did you try reinserting it 180 degrees to reverse the polarity?
I swapped my lights to LEDs (except instrument cluster, that's next) and found that they didn't light up due to inserting them incorrectly because of the LED polarity.

 

yea I know the led polarity and they are still the stock bulbs and that's what puzzles me
