whats the bulb number? Options

[Malhar95]

i need a bulb number for the dome light on a 1995 toyota celica gt.
i checked the 'lighting guide' on the sticky, and couldnt really find it...i found something called "Map light- 293 " is that the same?

i took it to an autozone but they couldnt really help, well that guy couldnt atleast....

Dome light bulb = Map light bulb. I showed them the bulb at autozone and they said they'd never seen it before, freakin idiots. I went to Toyota and some chick found it in 2 seconds. Heads up though, bulbs from Toyota aren't cheap. I think I payed 9.95 for the map light (they had to ship it from a warehouse) and 3.95 for the license plate bulb (which they had).

When I went she asked me if I wanted a 50 or 60 watt bulb (apparently there's 2 different wattage bulbs Toyota makes for it) the orig outta my gt was a 60 watt so I grabbed that but honestly I have no idea if there is a difference in the different models. As for bulb type I would assume its a 293 like you stated. So just look up 293 led bulb and look around to see if you can find one. I'll do some research when I get home and see I can find anything out for you.
