The OEM vanity mirror light bulb was marked as "12V0.15A". A few compatible replacement "miniature fuse" type bulbs with their part numbers include the following: ACDelco 13502343, Eiko 40842 - 6614F, 6614F, TS-14V1CP, Bulbrite 756320 - 6614F and the Putco 230003 LED. The only tool needed to replace the bulb is a small flathead screwdriver or a plastic pry bar tool. |
