Installed some LEDs today (great upgrade for those wanting to know) but I forgot about the vanity mirror lights on the visor.

I didn't see a bulb listed in the FAQ and from the looks of it...Well...It looks like a fuse for lack of a better description. Are there LEDs for these as well? Thanks

I tried those and they're just a tad to long. The only way I see to make them work is to break off one of the plastic pieces on the top.

I've never seen one and couldn't figure it out from the info printed on the bulb. I ended up picking up some festoon bulbs at superbrightleds.com that turned out to be too fat and using some clear duct tape putting them in place ...not a perfect solution, but I just wanted to have all LEDs.

The above link from V-leds is almost it, but too long. If you take the current light out, and look at the empty slot, you'll see two tabs that keep the fuse looking light in place. The V-leds is too long, but only by a little.

If you were so inclined, you could probably snap the plastic tab off and make it fit. I'm not so inclined.

Yep, just a tad too long, but I got them to fit without breaking those little plastic tabs. Just put it at a slight angle (eg: pushed all the way in from the top, and slightly sticking out at the bottom). In any case, worst case scenario is that those plastic things will BEND, not break, atleast they didnt break for me. To me it was worth the small bend in the plastic, because my vanity lights look luxurious in white!

Plus I got all 4 on ebay for $10 shipped

You would search for "vanity LED"

But this is the person I got mine from:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWDVW

Half the price of V-LED's, and very good quality. Its brighter than the standard vanity lights,. Plus, you can save on shipping if you order all 4. Took about a week or so to get to my door.
