Got it, Thanks again
Good luck with the wiring, I love the LED bulbs white light for the 4 wheel drive modes.
I ended up using a 470 Ω resistor for cutting down the brightness

I found out that the passenger side window control uses a very odd bulb. Those T4/T4.2 do NOT work; the contacts are on the "side" of the base rather than the surface.

This is what I got for the drivers side switch. But the plastic bases wouldn't quite fit; the circuit board is just a bit too thick. So I removed the LEDs from the new base, and installed them into the stock bases; pretty easy. I really like the color/brightness; white but not too bright, very similar to the backlighting on the headlight switch.

My passenger side switch bulb is still ok, though not quite as bright as these new LEDs, so I opened that up to replace it as well, so as to match. That's when I found out the difference. I looked closely, but couldn't really come up with a way to use the new LED (short of soldering, which I CAN, but didn't really want to), so I left it as is. If it burns out in the future, I'll address it then.

Did you ever find the correct bulb for the passenger front switch? If so, please share a link or part number. I have the same problem.
