It's probably going to be a specialty bulb. Cuz I know the dimmer switch and HID switch is not a 74... which is the smallest wedge based bulb at auto parts stores.

I believe the ACD and the Interior dimmer switch share the same bulb type which is NEO3-R or neo-wedge 3mm led bulb (I chose to replace it with a LED bulb). It worked for me thus far. The Fog light and the head light leveler switch might need a custom install done but shouldn't be all that difficult.

So were all the led bulbs you replaced on the acd, and dimmer were 3mm neo wedge base? I pulled those two yesterday to replace and also the fog light and headlight leveler, Three are the same base size look close to 4mm since the last bulb and wedge are smaller. I forget which switch the smaller one came out of. I might just order all in 3mm to be on the safe side from superbrightleds.

Yes I ordered 7(one for each switch, etc-headlight leveler, dimmer, fog, emergency, acd, cigarette lighter, and ashtray)I ordered the regular LED in cool white, and 3mm base. 3mm is a little lose but works, you can order 4mm base but you have to dremel or grind out the hole in the circuit board. There's other colors if you wan to go that route or if you want brighter you can order the high power LED's. I don't think they would make too much of a difference though since the buttons only let so much light through. Almost each switch has 2 sockets for 2 bulbs each but it adding 2 instead of the factories 1 doesn't make it any brighter also. Here's the link for the LED's. Also you need to unwrap the wiring on the LED bulbs and route then through the socket hole so they can contact the metal on the circuit board.

From my experience with dealerships, they will not know this information for these small socket type lights or will tell you that you have to order the whole switch complete.
