[alex86]

Recently my 88 camry's shifter indicator D light and normal light has gone caplooe. anyone noe what bulbs they are(they freakin small). i might just replace whole shifter indicator if i cant get a replacement bulb. help me out guys

Is this the indicator thing on the dashboard, or the one on the actual shifter?

I'm loooking into changing those too, I think I might throw some LED's in, but if you need to find the size of the bulbs, you could always just open it up and look at them....and while it's open, you could just take out the 2 and L lights and just switch them to whatever you want...you probably don't go into 2 or L that much anyway...

I wouldnt bother replacing those bulbs. On my 89 the normal and D lights worked ONLY when it was rainy and very damp out.., otherwise they never worked. I think they are LED's but don't quote me on that, LED's they last a long time.., the problem could be elsewhere.

no they work on my car but i just need to noe the type of bulbs. i already pulled them out but when i went to Advance Auto they didnt have them. i asked my friend nd he said i have to prob go to dealership or special order cause they are really small.

I'm almost positive that they're bulbs, not LED's, from what I remember looking at mine...

Check the bottom of the plastic, there should be a number molded into it, like a model number or something...I know my dashboard lights had numbers molded into them, so I would think these do too...check under good light, it'll probably be hard to see.

Your right, I was wrong. Now I remember trying to goto Napa for these bulbs because I needed them for the dashlights in the pickup. I said forget shopping around and went to the dealer and paid 2.xx something for a measily bulb.
