Default Quick Bulb Question

I have a pack of 12V T1, 3mm bulbs. I know they fit in the overhead console where the homelink buttons are. I also have an out light in 1 of the seat heater rocker switches. Does any one know if it's the same size bulb so I can do all of my soldering at one time?

I called a dealer today and asked for the bulb. You have to buy the whole module. The only you tube video I can find has the guy going the job, but he is speaking what seems to be an Eastern European language. It's not much help since he is jimmy rigging the light to make the repair.

Problem solved and fixed. I found a new OEM switch (Hazard/Rear wiper w/ heated seats) on ebay for $35. This is $95 through Chrysler. Besides the out lights, I was also having a problem with the hazard switch sticking when trying to start or stop them. It arrived in today's mail and took only 20 minutes start to finish to install.

TOTAL SUCCESS! My whole dash and overhead console are all lit again. Thank you to all who answered my questions in various posts, and those I read while perusing for answers. I spent $50 in parts for a job that would have cost me $200 for parts and then labor. I love our vehicle, but the dealers charge way too much in labor to fix them.

I know this is not the place, but maybe with so many dealerships under 1 ownership you would think they could consolidate repair garages and drop costs a little.

Good you fixed it
But indeed, the dealerprices are amazing...
I owned many brands of cars and now I still own a Mercedes and this Chrysler..All brands where pretty good to maintain at the branddealer but at Chrysler's the part and laborprices are insane....
Even my old Mercedes is much cheaper to maintain with original dealerparts!
