Thx

You can purchase the socket type LED bulbs from superbrightledcom. They are the 4mm. You may want to purchase the amber for the cool white look more of a blue tone where as the amber will tie into the dash better. Here is the link. Also test the unit before completely re-installing sometimes you may have to rotate the bulb 180 degrees for it to work. Good luck.

its one per...sorry, its been a while so I forget how many there are total...I bought the 8 pack I linked and did all of the dash (white btw, and they look/illuminate perfect) and have I think 3 left for the windows if/when? Since the new looked/matched so well I didnt dig into the switches until they need it.

I bought the incandescent (link in post 59)...I personally did not like the led light and look and these looked exactly like oem, but just a bit brighter. I preferred the warmer fuller light vs the more intense/pinpoint if I'm describing it ok? The led color was funny/different too...kinda like the diff between halogen headlights and the kits out these days. I hope I'm explaining well enough. And to be fair, when I did it there were very few options as these type bases were not widely available, but I tried the ones I linked and led version (not high intensity btw) and I vastly preferred the ones I linked.

I'm assuming that if I got the twist in bulbs to replace in my climate control, that those are the same bulbs for my window controls as well? Also, do the rear window controls (in the back seat) illuminate? Both of mine don't, and I'm not sure if they're supposed to or not.

Congrats on your awesome instrument cluster color!

Can you please send me a write up on how you performed this? I have read and re-read multiple threads, from multiple websites. I have since bought like 50 LED lights, some with resisters, some that are 3mm, some that are square shaped. All are ready to be installed, with no clear instruction.

Please help! A step by step would be much appreciated. Maybe financial reimbursement?? If needed

some of this is pretty tricky.
pm me your phone number and I can go over it with you via text or on the phone.

Exactly how many bulbs will be needed to swap them all (window switches, HVAC, Dash, Light switch, etc.)? Is it 4mm bulbs for all of them? I've got one HVAC bulb out and would like to go ahead and replace them all


Thanks,
Spencer
