    Just ordered 4 of the bulbs from the local dealer, so hopefully by next week sometime, all my switches will light up, including the new light bar and driving light switches I have coming. I really got used to driving a semi with a dash that looks like a 747 when it's all lit up so the more illuminated stuff on the dash, the better!

    Can anyone verify which size T3 wedge bulb?

    Also, it sounds like LED isn't the easiest option here as you would have to add a resistor? LED would be ideal for bulb life ya know.

    I don't know about the '15s, but in my '05 the mirror switch does not light up. I've opened it up before, and there's no bulb or anything of the such.

    Mirror switch doesn't. Fog lights and other switches light up on left side except the inverter and it lights only when pressed but not illuminated with head lights. The switches on the left of steering wheel are a light green color. I changed all mine to white leds. Kind of matches the center radio and ac lighting. Also changed the steering controls to white. Here's some pics.
