I can't see the pics -
I found them! They are great! Question remains below though. Please reply.
To be clear we are talking about the heated seat backlit light and not the little amber colored bezel light when the seat heater is activated correct? Turning the bezel the little light comes on and my seat heats up just fine.
I'm just trying to replace the seat heater light that allows me to see the switch at night. Annoying by survivable.
Thx!

Does anyone know the complete number and or sizes to do the whole section plus maybe the other control areas as well?
Wouldn't mind at this price and the effort or lack thereof it takes to do them all at once.
thinking of doing all white maybe some red for the heaters areas...idk yet

I just replaced 5 bulbs (right seat, center diff lock, DAC, height control up/down switch, AC 115V) with this set I bought from Amazon http://a.co/j3dEbEV. Followed the instructions in this thread to replace and had no real issues while using dash removal tools. The brightness matches exactly.

The bulbs are in a plastic carrier. You would insert the wires then wind them around the tracks just like the old bulbs, so that when you reinsert the carrier into the switch body the wires make contact. There is also a coating/cover to get the correct green tint for the back-lit seat symbol.
I've just bought the bulbs at the dealer (P/N 84751B -- about $5-6 ) so no idea if your link has the correct bulb.
