Does anyone have a part number for those tiny blue light bulbs that are in almost every button in my Q? Please help as I need a couple dozen.

Thanks,

Andy

Anyone else? I'm sure I read somebody bought them at the Nissan dealer. The Nissan dealer here wanted to sell me the whole switch..... :rolleyes:

The bulbs can be purchased at Radio Shack . I don't have the part number but they are tiny miniature 12V bulbs, with wire leads about 1" long. You pull the old bulb out of the base (how you get it out of the switch varies, some unscrew, some will require soldering) and thread it into the base.

Getting the base out and back in is 90% of the job, Using this bulb instead of an Infiniti bulb with a new base is 10%.

These are about $.80 each from RS.

Well, I called Joe.....unfortunately the little LED bulbs in the window buttons are not available by themselves....you must buy the whole switch. So it's off to Radio Shack to buy some blue LEDs so that I can retrofit something. Shouldn't be too hard of a job, just time consuming. I'll post back how it went as I know there are others out there that are in the same boat.
