It's a standard 194. Like he said, just wiggle it out.

How did you get the covers off??? I managed to get the bottom edge loose but the top edge won't budge! I'm afraid I'm going to break the cover if I pry on it too much.

Try pulling from the left edge, not from the top or bottom.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.
And how about the map light to the right of the moonroof buttons on the headliner? Is that a #194 as well, and how does that cover come off, pry from the left, right, top, bottom???

Thanks!

I swapped out all my bulbs for LED's last week. I just used a small flathead screwdriver to pry open all the covers. I don't remember the exact corners I started from or anything, but if you work it slowly it's pretty easy to figure out.

The map light by the moonroof is this guy right here (sucks you have to buy them in pairs):

not to be confused with the rear dome light that comes on when you open the door, which is this one:

The dimmer for the dome light scares me cuz it makes my bulb flicker. I don't know if it's truly a bad thing or not, but I'm afraid it's gonna blow out.

I'm still waiting for Velocity to mail me my 37/74's so I can fix my gauge cluster...
