Transmission shifter / middle console lights

[Pgy]

Hi everyone! I was wondering if the transmission shifter is supposed to have a backlight ( i assume the P, D, N etc should be lit?) Not sure if mine doesn't work or if there just isn't any installed to start with, but before i remove the middle console i was hoping someone knows, and which type of bulb? - Jeep KJ CRD 2003
I looked through the manual but i didn't find a reference to it..
Thank you all!

Thank you! Can’t find those anywhere though, I don’t think they are in production anymore? Any alternatives? When I looked for the 14v/14w I got some results showing these as replacements 2721 12v/1.2W ..I don’t know anything about electrical stuff so I don’t want to mess up..

You can find it by searching for mopar number.
Also available on amazon.

I have to find a seller located in Europe, but so far no luck. I was hoping there's a replacement, a lot of parts aren't produced anymore or supplied by dealers. I found the Osram 2721 ( comes with a plastic casing but it can be removed)
Looks like this

Robot or human?

Only thing is that it's 12W not 14

You could just solder a white led in it's place.
I doubt you will notice a 2W difference in the bulb, it's only a glow when it's on.

The bulb actually goes in the shifter base so that when you shift, it will align with P, R, N, D. 2 & 1, what ever gear you select. It rides with the shifter indicator and is under the plastic slide sort of tray that has all the shift positions P, R, N, etc on it. It will light up the selected gear only

It seems to be okay if you have a T5 base.
W2 x d4.6 (mm)

Much appreciated! It worked! Europe sure is different for everything car related, different codes, sizes
