    sadly, tis not the case for my 2011.

    the good news is, it only took about 45 seconds to get the thing apart.
    but when i did, I found a wee-tiny little bulb that is much smaller than a 168/194.......

    im coloring the bulb itself blue now to see results....then maybe the underside of the letters.......

    So there was no amber rubber piece on the bulb as described for the 2011? Any pics of how that came out? or possibly a write up?

    Did anyone ever find out what size bulb is in the 2011 or find it in blue? Or did using a blue marker work? Wanted to try to change this today it is going to be raining all day and I will be bored and looking for something to do.

    Bulb size 2723 (also bulb size 74 looked like it would work) I purchased and used the 2723 bulbs and reused the orange cover/skin. I picked them up at Autozone for 4.19 sold in a 2pac. Took 5 minutes to change that including cleaning everything under there.

    I just added a GTA car kit for my 07 and ran the wires through the center console, so i had all this stuff apart today. I noticed the bulb under the gear indicator, and the little plastic cover. I wondered if there was anyway i could get a replacement cover in a different color.... and this is what i've found. (3/4 the way down the page)

    http://www.taillightking.com/light_bulbs.htm

    I haven't ordered it, but its only $4 so i will soon. If it doesn't work i think ill probably just put an LED module inside

    anyways hope this helps someone.
