Got 'em from eBay. I asked the seller if he had anymore. He will have them late September.

Okay, so I checked on it this morning and the mirror housing popped off a little bit. It seems it won't stay together now. So if anyone was planning on doing this be warned this may happen. I'm going to tear into it this weekend to find a fix for that.

So will a 194 or 168 fit or does it have to be a T5?

Sun Visor bulb replacement

Though you don't have the same type bulb as mine, this post might help someone else.

I have an 05 Excursion (EB) and the bulbs in mine look like an old style glass fuse. I replaced them with LEDs. They are easy to change and quite a bit brighter.

They are 29mm Festnoons with 3 LEDs per bulb and I got mine from eBay (via China).

I didn't realize '00-'01 visors were so much different than '02-'05 visors. The mirror cases themselves are rectangular, as are the light lenses, and the bulbs like posted above just push in there like a fuse.
