Since I have to remove the center console anyway, I figured I would replace the bulbs in the Climate Control. The left one (under the fan speed indicator) is out.

I have read MANY articles on the forum, but still do not have a clear idea which bulbs to order.

It appears they are a "neo-wedge" style. however there are quite a few sizes and styles. I'd like to find the correct one.

For example:
6x Blue T5/T4.7 Neo Wedge LED Bulb Cluster Instrument Dash Climate Base Lights

These are blue. I believe I have the blue covers over the existing bulbs, but I won't know till I disassemble the console.

Also, will these DIM?? If not, I would prefer the original bulbs. NOT from a dealer...not at 7USD a piece!


Help!

Wow...is no one interested in using LEDs in their climate control head or instruments?

Hard to believe.

How many for that price? I have one out and need to replace it.

 

I just had to replace a couple of bulb's.


Here is a good source.


Instrument Panel Gauge Dashboard Colored Led Bulbs Lights Lamps

 

There are some threads on this, Rev Sam had posted he put in LEDS but then ended up taking them back out because it didn't provide enough illumination. Note sure of any specs without looking them up, Voltage/current on whether you could put a higher lumen bulbs in.

 

I have multiple sources for neo wedge bulbs in many output levels and colors. just need to know which SIZE!

I used T4 neo wedge SMD Led bulbs to replace climate control temperature display background illumination bulbs.

Works ok, but it should be noted that SMD bulbs do not spread light as traditional ones so middle part of display is quite bit darker than edges.

Anyway for $7 I got 4 SMD leds so I can live with that.

Also If I recall right installation of SMD leds must be so that current is right i.e. +->+ and - -> -, otherwise it won't illuminate.
