Sorry guys, i did search for this but all i could find was how to replace the bulb.

My question is, my light is very dim in the center console shifter. Is there a known issue with this? If not is there a brighter replacement bulb for it?
My truck is a 2004, thanks guys.

 

It is possible the the bulb has come loose and has come away from the socket.

The bulb socket in this location is of poor quality. I would check that.

Some have gone to replace the bulb only to find the bulb works, but had worked its way out of the socket.

 

I just pulled the old girl into the garage for new diff oil, again. My gasket is leaking. So i will definitely check that out.

 

The bulb isn't blown, and was plugged in properly, its just really dim.

 

Then I would change the bulb. If it is still dim there must be an issue.

Is there any after market equipment tied into the console. ???

 

No, nothing but stock.

 

I am out of ideas, sorry

 

No problem, i think I'll just replace it with an LED, and see what happens

 

LED will use let power, and should be brighter.

Let me know how it works out

 

Changed the bulb, i used just a regular one and its all good now, something must have been wrong with the old one.
