Trunk / Dome Lights? #816977 12/09/03 04:59 AM

I'm wanting to guess it's a DE3175, but the Chilton manual says to check with the Ford dealership for replacement (that's never fun) and Sylvania's site is referring to it as a 6411 (I know some bulbs have multiple numbers). I would like to order a different color anyways, so if anyone could confirm the number of this light, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks. 2005 Pontiac GTO Formerly owned: 1998 Mercury Mystique LS

I hate to cut wires if I don't have to, so I unplugged the plastic housing with the bulb, cut the cigarette lighter adapter off of the neon, and crimped a pair of spade connectors on the end of the wires and plugged it in like stock.
