Does anyone have any extra bases for #74 bulbs!!!???

[Natedogg1701]

i need a base for the #74 bulbs that light up the instrument cluster on my 03 pathy. but i need a factory one, the ones that can be bought off autolumination.com do not work. any help would be appreciated greatly, or info on where i can buy one.

If you can't get one from a NICO member:

I'm pretty sure (if I'm completely off somebody please correct me) that if you buy the bulb from the dealership, it comes in the base. That's why they're so pricey from the dealership. Just buy the bulb in the base and yank the bulb out.

I also bought a bunch of bases from Autolumination.com and found that none of them worked so I had to pull the bulbs from my stock bases, each of which just ended up getting crushed as I pulled them out.

I found I had to do the same thing as O'Brien as the ones I ordered from alumination are too small and did not work. I couldnt get the bulbs out either, so I crushed the bubs with pliers, then pulled the socket out and replace it with the LED. Good luck with your hunt!

ya i ordered one from the dealership. the ones from autolumination dont contact the circuit board the right way either, the factory ones contact the side of the circut board we cant see, u notice this if you look at the contacts on the base, and the bases from autolumination has contacts that would contact a circuit board you can see. but ya i crushed by bulbs too, but as i was prying the glass out of one the whole plastic base broke. what a horrible feeling, all well, $10.00 from the dealership, ouch, but atleast i can get it.

thanks emptyV, but i already ordered a bulb and base from my local dealership, the prices was a little outrageous, but when they are the only ones i can get the base from and they know this, they can charge whatever they want. again thanks anyway.
