Do you have a voltmeter? Turn the car on and check. If I hadn't just got done putting my engine together, I'd totally take my console apart to figure this out.

well i answered my own question. 2.18 volts my meter read with the engine running, 2.11 when it wasnt. so the 3.0 volt ones should work. if i buy a 50 pack, who wants some??
