Post subject:  LED bulbs for HVAC and gauges
I have a 2004 Jeep Liberty and I need to know if these LED bulbs will work.

I ordered these for the HVAC:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071G7F5BR/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And these for the gauges: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KS599C2/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=IO3K052F3687K&colid=3B0X5R6396SKZ

Any help is greatly appreciated!

For those of you who might find this information useful, I ordered the HVAC bulbs from Amazon and they arrived today. I can confirm that they work. I only had two minor issues. First, they don't just fall into place. They take a bit of "persuasion" but nothing that made me feel like they were going to break. This is referring to them going into the hole. Once they're in they rotate and lock just fine. Second, the LED's have polarity. I got one in correctly and the other one I had to rotate 180 degrees. The color I went with is called ice blue. I'll take a picture later this evening. In the meantime, I have these photos to share with the original bulb and the LED bulb for comparison. I haven't ordered the dash gauge LED's but when I do I'll let you guys know if they work.

Thank you, and Welcome!

I haven't had any need to address these, but in the event that I do, I appreciate the info.

Cheers

Here's what they look like at night. Again, the color is ice blue.

Here you go, I have a whole bag of the B8.4D LED bulbs ready to go when I need one!
Their bases look exactly like the OEM bulbs.

Dash or instrument cluster bulb:
Mopar OEM: 4839738AA
Dorman pt. no.: 639-006
GM pt. no.: 22695949
Bulb/base type: B8.4D (LED)
B8.5D can be made to fit with slight modification to base.

Thanks, WWDiesel. Since you say the B8.4D LEDs work, I'll buy them instead of the PC74. I wasn't too sure if superbrightleds.com was giving me the correct information since they have nothing listed for a 2004. However, they say for a 2003 the PC74s will work. I'm not sure how much different an 03 is from an 04, but I guess anything is possible.

WWDiesel, would the B8.4D LED bulbs for the dash be the same bulb for the shifter column bulb? Also, what about the lights behind the window buttons? Thanks.

For the shifter indicator bulb they list:
s14v bulb / MS820083

I could not find one listed for the window switches.
This one will require some discovery work.... :wink:

I took my window switch panel out and looked it over and it’s a no go. If the bulbs are replaceable, you would have to break into the unit and I’m not going there! They can remain the ever faint green color. I can’t see them anyways since they’re on the front side of the arm rest!
