Visor Vanity Replacement Bulb – Mopar Part 6501966

I recently purchased a 2018 Chrysler Pacifica Limited. While it has xenon HID or white LEDs for most of the clear light bulbs; the high beam, reverse/backup, and visor vanity bulbs were still nasty yellow incandescent bulbs. The first two were standard sizes (9005 and 7440, respectively) and were easy to track down.

The visor vanity bulb was the one that required some research. I ordered an LED bulb from Amazon thinking it would fit but it was totally different. Then I contacted two LED sellers and got links to their products that would not have fit, but fortunately I didn't order them. The way I cracked this nut was by looking at the stock bulb and seeing a faint "74" written on it - this bulb is tiny so it's not easy to see the writing on it. I searched for that bulb size and found the Sylvania 74 bulb which looked exactly the same size as the stock bulb and I was very confident that it was.

Once I had the aftermarket bulb info and also the measurements of the stock bulb, I searched around and Amazon seemed to have an LED replacement that would fit. I was right! It was very tight, but the bulb fit and worked. You just have to angle it in with needle nose pliers and apply some pressure. When you take out the stock bulb be careful not to break it since it's glass, and very small and fragile.

Here is the LED replacement bulb from Amazon. The Mopar part number 6501966 should apply to Jeep and Dodge also.

Here is the Sylvania 74 bulb that looks like the stock one.
