Help Determining Bulb Sizes '98 Camry

[tjdean01]

Hi, guys. Need a few dash bulbs for my '98 Camry LE (4 cyl, auto). I actually think there might be a short somewhere, or, I think me monkeying with other bulbs without removing battery cable/fuses causes certain bulbs to burn out (anyone know?).

So, these are the bulbs I need. Autostores around here are horrible so I want to order online. Also, for certain bulbs I want to get the LEDs so I'm looking for the size so I can order by number.

1. Bulb 1 - Width across of connector is .363" (.922 cm). I found this under the center console-located shifter indicating park, drive, etc. I didn't have one so I stole this from the trunk, so I want a bright LED to replace that one. Is this a 194?
2. Bulb 2 - .175" (.444 cm). Found 2 of these behind the heater dials with green caps on them. 74s?
3. Bulb 3 - Connector is same size as bulb 2, but the bulb itself is thinner. This illuminates the ashtray.
4. Bulb 4 - Illuminates cigarette lighter area. Again, the CONNECTOR is the same as bulbs 2 & 3, but the LENGTH of the bulb itself is shorter. This one wasn't burnt out but I broke it myself trying to look at it. It's a pain in the butt because you need to solder it alone with 2 metal connectors back into the plastic part. I'd love to just buy the whole plastic part but I don't know what it's called. HELP!
5. Just something useless guy at AutoZone told me would fit.

If anyone knows please let me know. Thank you!



I'm going to make an interior light mod and post pics soon!

1. yup 194
2.yup 74
3. modded 74 get if from toyota like 75 cents or something like that
4. modded 74 get it from toyota i think it comes with the base and is like $2
5. looks like a 194 i hear that some bulbs have issues with the thickness of the base where the glass is about a mm thiner than the factor bulbs giving them a slight bit o'shake to remedy that you can pull the wire on the base of the bulb out and make it more of a wedge, also if you get led's great trick on them

6. search this has all been covered and even the led option of you want to change colors anywhere

Thanks. I'd like to order them from Toyota. However, where? Do I call up a dealer or is there a website? And, if it's a website, what term to search for, or, how to explain it to the guy on the phone?

I made the thread already. It's not a color change it's about pulling the wires out of the dash and using the light elsewhere to illuminate the interior of the vehicle. Check 'er out!: Reading Light Mod

had this problem with dash board "green" bulbs on '00 solara when replacing burned ones with Sylvannia Silverstar 194LL.

easy remedy it to bend slightly inwards the metal contacts in wedge base. works like a charm.

original bulbs are Toshiba G9 they also have 194 imprinted on the green rubber jacket (it comes off when you remove the rubber jacket, so check before touching).
