I did search and read here a bunch but I cannot find the correct dash bulb sizes for my m51a2.

It seems 1156 fits side markers and tail light assembly. Is there a list of led bulb sizes i missed somehow?

1156 bulbs are 12V and will not fit. Common bulbs are 1829 for dash lights, 1683 for brake lights and 623 for running and parking lights. You will have to cross reference for LEDs

Ok 1829 is BA9S and one of those others is BA15. Thank you, only a short amazon order away. What do people do for additional interior lighting?

You put those bulbs in there and they will burn the socket lens out. They will melt. You have to space the socket back away.

Swamp has different colored lens and then spacer kit


Some folks add an armor light. They are common on ebay

I used M38(A1?) taillight covers and dual element bulbs on my intercom console in the back of the cab that gives me 2 levels of brightness to shine red light onto the dash & floor.

Very nice, just ordered two of the armor dome light units, any idea what bulb type they use so I can order led equivalent?
