That bulb is not the same as those in the window switch pod.

I did as soon as I saw it, thanks. Not sure when I'll get to it but it looks fairly simple.

I replaced the incandescent bulbs for the climate control and the power windows switches on my 2009.

Here's the write-up I did on the climate control bulb replacement. https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/jk-w...7/#post4065971

There are two different size bulbs on the climate control circuit board. If I remember correctly, I used the smaller bulbs for the power window switchs.

What I can tell you is replacing the bulbs on the power window switchs is much more difficult. Although I don't do this type of work professionally anymore and I still have the tool and retained some of my previous skills...

Biggest challenge is separating the two circuit boards that are sandwiched together. They're held together by multiple pins that must be de-soldered without damaging the circuit boards.
