Default Back up mirror lights.

I found something interesting today when I started to clean my truck! On my rear view mirror there are two small lights. I went ahead and pulled them out and they said 192 on them. I thought they would be 194's? But anyways could these be switched to led's because thats what Im doing eventually to the entire interior including the cluster.
Thanks, Zach

Should be able to get LEDs, just go to ebay and search that number for led.

I'll do that, but it seems the rear view mirror would need new batteries in it possibly. Both bulbs were a shade of gray at the tip so Im assuming they were blown but I think the mirror itself has batteries. Looking for someone who could clarify that because Im not finding anything.

If its factory I doubt it uses bateries. Post a picture. It would be easier to clarify.

Yea I can't see it having batteries, unless it's an aftermarket thing and there is a switch on it.

Are you talking about the turn signals? To go LED on those you'll need a new module or resistors

Do you have a lever on the bottom for switching the mirror from Day to Night? You might have an auto-dimming mirror on it. I have one, and there's a little green light on the lower right corner to show that it's on. I don't know why you'd have 2 though.

There is a lever but I think its for keeping the mirror locked into position so if Igo off roadin or something it won't bounce around.
