Is the 9007 for the Low and High beam bulb?

Edit: It looks like 9005 is for the Highs.

Out of curiosity, some have said the gauge cluster bulbs are T1.5, others have said they are 74, and another person said they are 24. Does T1.5 refer to the base that the bulb goes in? Which bulb will fit into this base? Where can we buy these bases and bulbs?

The only reason I'm asking is I read through this entire thread and no one clarified this. Thanks!

From my understandings, T1.5 is a 74 with with a twist lock base. 74 is a wedge base. BUT, 74 is too small for the cluster, you need the 24 instead. 24 is a little bigger than the 74. The website mentioned above has the blubs and bases, you can get them there.
Hope this helps.

Careful with them, I had them on my previous car and they didn't last, Went through 2 sets before I gave up and bought some Raybrig and never looked back. They r cheap but some bulbs are a pita to change to it wasn't worth the hassle. Great people and service but can't say the same about their products...

Okay, so I'm looking for some clarification to make sure these will work with a 2003 OZ (all bulbs listed are from superbriteleds.com):

Side Turn Signal/Parking Light

T13-x6 Wedge Base LED bulb
12VDC 6-LED Wedge Base bulb
measure 1 1/8 long by 1/2 inch maximum diameter (194/168 type)
Select LED Color
$ 1.99

-OR-

WLED-x4 LED bulb
12VDC 4-LED Wedge Base Bulb (194/168 type)
Select LED Color
$ 1.59

(will the first ones be too big for the side turn signal?)


Interior AC Control, Cigarette Lighter, Ashtray, Lights

74-xHP Wedge Base LED Bulb
High power SMD LED with wide beam angle - 6 lumen
Small Wedge Base LED bulb (74 type) 3/16 inch wide base, 3/4 inch overall length
Select LED Color


Trunk Light

3022-x9 LED Festoon bulb
30mm (1.181 inches long)12 VDC Festoon Base Bulb with 9 LEDs
Select LED Color

Dome Light

3157-x25 LED bulb
25-LED 12VDC replacement bulb
16mm Dual Intensity wedge base for Tail/Brake applications (SRCK/SACK compatible)- DO NOT USE IN GM DRL's
Unique design has 19 LEDs aiming out the end and 6 radially mounted LEDs aiming 90 degrees from the base for better lens fill
Select LED Color


As for the gauge cluster, this site www.lightrikz.com definitely has the best offering as far as removing the film so everything lights up correctly...of you can swallow the core exchange price (which is totally worth it to me...just wish they offered amber).

I'm trying to either match everything to my amber prosport gauges, or to change them to match the rest of the car...

Okay, so I ended up replacing my parking lights, cig light, and HVAC Lights. There isn't one in the ignition for the '03 OZ...didn't even think to check, it's just a rubber boot around it. Anyway, here's what I got:

921-x12 Wedge Base LED bulb - Amber 921-A12 - 3.95 each

74-x Wedge Base LED bulb - Amber 74-A -1.19 each

74-xHP Wedge Base LED bulb - Amber 74-AHP -2.49 each


So the 921's worked fine, although it was a bit tricky on the passenger side to get it in the hole, had to shave off some of the headlight opening with an exacto to get it in, and then had to wrestle with it hitting the inside of the clear headlight housing. I managed to get it in without busting the LEDs, but some of them are slightly bent...no biggy. Be prepared to take out the entire headlight housing to make this easier, it's a PITA otherwise. These work AWESOME with the hazards and with blinking for my car alarm.

The 74's are a bit trickier, they DO NOT fit in the twist-lock housings, you have to extend the contacts a bit, and bend them out so there's enough tension to hold the led in the twist lock...if in doubt, a *tiny* dab of superglue will do the trick in one spot (use a brush applicator to make this easier). I used some putty to push out the clear plexi housing on the HVAC so that the LED light actually worked the way it should (they stick out too far otherwise), but noticed that the knob on the right was still too bright in one spot...just put a piece of white paper tape over it (post-it label tape works great) and it will even it out.

I bought one of the high power LEDs to see how that worked, and it wouldn't even light up in any of the locations, reversing polarity did nothing. So don't even bother with these.

The cig lighter looks nice. As for the shifter lights in the automatic '03 OZ, that is a 194/168 light just like the parking lights...not an LED.
One word of advice, don't have the lights ON when you're changing them, as you'll blow the LEDs. I just did this when adjusting the HVAC lights, and now I'm buying two new ones.

Hope this clears up some questions.

Oh, and all lights bought from super bright LEDs, Inc... superbrightleds.com

Can anyone tell me what the little bulbs in the cluster are? I understand that the ones that illuminated the main gauges and the mileage are #74's, but what are the smaller bulbs that are in twist bases that illuminate the "door ajar, and cruise control"

Went hunting for bulbs again today, and the 74's didnt fit behind the odometer. ended up with 2172 bulbs. Still can't find the little bulbs that are for the door ajar and cruise control.
