HVAC controls

[Craig Martin 2]

Hey guys. Can the lights behind the controls for the ac and heat be changed? Just noticed the right hand side went out tonight. Can LEDs be used? I assume I need to pull the radio bezal out to get into it. Just thought I'd ask before ripping it out.

Not sure on LEDs. If using regular bulbs, it takes 161 B wedge bulbs. They're available at Advanced for $5 for two. They're held in plastic screws/plugs. Use a rubber grip pad and pliers to remove the bulb. Ge gentle. You may as well replace both. If one goes, the other, based on age, can't be far behind.

I put in LED bulbs, the Phillips 194 led (3 total) price is ridiculous at 10+$ for 1 (local pickup) but I also had the thought process of buy the better LEDs so as to not have to replace like I have read those that use the eBay/China cheaps. It's been a yr and no problems, so I will probably use the same bulbs for the instrument cluster also. The adjustable dimmer does not dim the LEDs like regular bulbs but it does dim down maybe around 50% or so. I still like them, you can tell its brighter but not overwhelming.
