Cool, Thanks. I hadn't hit the order button yet. Just downloaded the diagram.
Beware the 'OE' is now a marketing gimmick. There's at least one company that sells under the brand name OER, Original Equipment Replacement.
Real original parts will come in a box that says Chrysler Corp, MoPar or both.
It's even possible the replacement bulbs you got aren't actually the correct ones.
To reduce the number of different items in inventory, companies 'consolidate' part numbers if they can get away with it. So that's another thing to be aware of. Sometimes it doesn't matter, or at least to some people it doesn't matter and at other times it does.
A couple pictures here and some discussion
1034A (amber) LIGHT BULBS
and maybe you'll find the discussion here helpful in understanding the system.

Thank you Matax. Also nice nod to Jack Webb. "Just the facts, ma'am"
The bulbs that I have are 1157A. I have a few from my old cars that my ex father in-law had given me back in the 80's, but none were amber. The bulbs that were in the car when I bought it were, I believe 1156's, (both posts were at the same level). The previous owner had literally pushed one post in to make them fit. The sockets are staggered for the 1157 bulbs. It was a bit of "fun" getting them in. They do light up in the first pull of the headlight switch, off in the second position.
I'll check into all of this when I'm renovating the seats.
