I have an 2004 Ram with single climate control. I've looked up other treads and so far i cant find the buld i need for the headlight switch on superbrightled. I need to get a list of what bulds i need and how many. Going to go with a blue LED. Please do not post other links to treads on here. I'm looking for an original list. Thank You

For the climate control, you need 3 NEO5 bulbs: https://www.superbrightleds.com/mor...ulb-high-power-instrument-panel-led/221/7252/

Pretty sure the overhead console uses NEO4 bulbs. I forget how many it needs but it's at least 2.

For the dash on your 2005, you need 11 B8.5D bulbs: https://www.superbrightleds.com/mor...d-bulb-smd-instrument-panel-led-car/223/7254/

The headlight switch needs to be soldered out/in to replace it. Still not clear as to which bulb that one takes but it looks like a T1 5mm LED bulb: https://www.superbrightleds.com/mor...egree-viewing-angle-800-millilumens/343/1290/

From what I have gathered on all the threads that are out there on this, Dodge uses a blue film (roscolux?) in the various locations and the incandescent stock bulbs are yellow which in turn gives the green lighting. You might be ok going with white bulbs but the blue should work as well, just making it a darker blue I think.

Guess you completely ignored the post I made that provides just about all the information you asked for.... Google is your friend, that's how I found all this info. I haven't done the swap myself.

Just a word of advice, when your changing from incandescent to led’s, make sure the cluster harness ground is clean, it will flicker if it’s rusted like mine was and you’ll have to take the dash panels off again goin nuts trying to figure out why they are flickering. The ground is bolted to the dash frame behind/underneath the radio.
