What type of bulb should be here?

[PStansberry78]

This is the rear cargo courtesy lamp assembly. I opened it to find it empty, which explains why I had no light. But it's not a bulb with a socket. Looks like a bulb that clips in on either end?

Problem is, the LMC catalog shows a bulb that requires a socket. Anyone know what type of bulb goes here?

This is what you're lacking.

I switched mine out to a 194

So that bulb hooks onto the metal things and pulls tension on them, rather than fitting between and pushing against the metal plates?

Got a link for that bulb, by chance? When I search Amazon for "194 bulb", I get a lot of results that all look like socketed bulbs like the one under my hood.

I switched mine to a 194, that's not the stock bulb.

Ah ha! That helps.

The actual stock bulb is a 211-2 bulb. There are tons of them on Amazon. Thanks, Travis!

I ended up ordering this because I eventually want to swap all the bulbs in the truck to LED anyway... this looked like it would fit the bill of straight OEM replacment using the stock mounting hardware:

Thanks, again!

They're also cheap and readily available at most any auto parts store.

Just knowing the correct bulb number helped a ton. ;-)
