Is there a Comprehensive List of Bulb Types and Numbers for the 3rd Generation Dakotas (2005-2011)?
I've become a Big Fan of the New LED Replacements for Filament Bulbs.
However, Amazon, Ebay, and Online Parts Houses use of "My Garage" Verification of Fit... Frequently return "Does Not Fit" for Parts Specifically Listed for My Vehicle!
Direct Inquiries to Manufacturers can be slow, and some responses can be Vague!
I haven't pulled the Interior Overhead Lamp Covers for my new 2008 yet, but Listings suggest a 194 Type T10 Bulb.
My 2001 used "Torpedo" type Bulbs for Overhead Interior Lamps.
UPDATE... Old-Timer's Strikes Again!
I found the Bulb Type Listing on Page 373 of My Owner's Manual!
I have to admit, it was Easier to find Replacement Bulbs for my '53 Chevy Pickup... Back in the mid 60's!
EVERYTHING was easier to work on back then!
Thr Local Machine Shop charged $25 to Grind the Valves and Seats for the
6 cyl. Head I took off, and put back on! (1967)
I have full LED taillights, and yes, there is a resistor installed for the turn signals. I did not change out the front turn signals, but the resistors would also be necessary up front. I did install all LEDs all through the interior, and also put in a full LED 3rd brake light, and added LED Cargo light bulbs. Some members used cheap LEDs (EBay) on the interior and have a constant low glow from the bulbs, which is not an issue with better quality LEDs.
Those are definitely brighter. Great for backing up or hitching a trailer...might be a bit much for a parking lot if you're backing out of a spot and someone is waiting behind you.
@dakotaff...thanks. Wish I could find those assemblies at a reasonable price. I found them awhile back but for several hundred dollars. My halogens still work well enough that I can't justify that price.
Brights should be blinding to oncoming drivers. My dislike are those folks that get the "upgraded" bulbs that create a blinding, unaimed "low" beam.
