The foot lights are a 1156 bulb.
I thought he was saying you did, in the context he posted it.

This is from like page 3 of this thread. Can anybody read?

People can read but theres so much confusion on this thread that no one knows what going on and which ones to get. I dont even know if I got the right ones

Edit: and now I find out I need 2 more for the HAVC controls and theyre the t5s i guess

5-#74's for the dash
2- #194's for the transfer case, and 4wd transfer case.
And (10mm) for some of them
And I think it takes 74s for the HVAC

These are all the lights most will do for 97-01

5-neowedge t5 for the gauge cluster
2-194s for the 4wd/tranny (must have a diameter less then 10mm
2-3 neowedge t4 for the defroster, rear wiper and fog light if applicable
2-neowedge t4 for hvac
5-(or however many overhead lights you have) 44mm festoons
2-1156 for the footwells

My footwell LEDs were broken within a week from kicking them with my feet so I bought four 30cm led strips and wired them into we're the original lights went.

You can get these from superbrightleds.com, vleds.com, amazon and eBay.

Just got in:
5-neowedge t5 for the gauge cluster
2-194s for the 4wd/tranny hopefully theyre smaller than 10mm

And I still need to get:
2-3 neowedge t4 for the defroster, rear wiper and fog light if applicable
2-neowedge t4 for hvac


If I get them in today, I'll post some pictures.
