Question Sunvisor bulb replacement question???

I have searched and googled and still no answers. So does anyone know what size bulb is in the sun visor on an '01 X?

Okay so I snapped some pics and this is as good as it gets. I may just try and pull the bulb and take it to Radio Shack or something if nobody here knows...

Sorry for the lack of description... It's a tiny little bulb that is large in frustration.

I would check Autozone for the bulb. They have a large selection of automotive bulbs. I found a bulb for my gear selector indicator on the instrument cluster in my Toyota Camry there. Good luck.

I figured it out. I just pryed the bottom of the whole thing off of the visor with a little flathead and pulled the bulb fixture out.



Pull the little housing apart to remove the bulb.



Here's the difference in the stock bulb and the LED that I used.



A little comparison.



An after pic.



Can't believe it took me that long to just look into it a little deeper to figure out how to do it. It took a whole 10 minutes to swap em out and get it all back together just right.

And you still aren't telling us what size. Do tell. Is it the T10? Really like the LED white light. I think my wife and daughters would enjoy those.

They are in fact T5 bulbs. There are a bunch of differnt styles of them. I found that the flat kind fit the best.
