Anyone know what it is? I could figure it out, but I'd rather not. Right now I have a ghetto repair, the cigarette light is run up through the OBC.[rofl] I'm planning on replacing it with 2 LEDs and would just like to know the voltage.

The bulbs that are soldered in to the small removable OBC board are 5v lamps. 6v miniature lamps with leads from Radio Shack work fine (catalog 272-1140) if you just want to replace the lamps.

What bulbs soldered onto the OBC? If you mean the OBC, next to the radio, there are no bulbs soldered in. The whole car is 12 volts, and depending on which circuit you use, different aperages. The computer runs off of the gauge cluster, so it's on the same circuit.

Its not just 12v. most of the major accessories are 12v but little things like back lights for the OBC are less. (or more [;)] )
