Dash lights...a bit different.

[Matt]

I had to buy a "new" climate control head during the year because mine gave up the ghost. Unfortunately the seller failed to mention that almost all of the lights were out, so they'll need to be replaced.

Here's my thing, I don't want to do LED's because that would mean I'd have to do every other light in the dash and doors and I just don't have the time or energy. So, two things, where the hell can I find the 272-1154 bulbs (I've tried) and would someone be able to do it for me (we'll work something out) if I shipped it to them in February while I'm on vacation?

Why not do LEDs on just the HVAC? Did you have a look at mine in the LED mod thread? Notice the white rear defrost button? That one was with a white LED which brings out the natural colour of the buttons. Too bright? I actually toned down some of them using a black marker.

I'd offer, but I'd stick LEDs in it anyway just to be spiteful

Carlton, let's talk...smartarse!

LEDs for the win!! No but seriously my dad wanted the same thing done which I did and now he regrets it. The light output is more yellowish than white and they tend to heat up as well. As soon as I'm back home they are all going to be replaced by LEDs.

@Blckshdw sent you a PM.

@Blckshdw is not available right now. You may refer your queries to my desk as I was trained by the LED master himself

I'm just good at figuring out all the ways to fail, until I eventually get it right, that's all.

Edit: the LEDs I use now are stupid bright compared to the old ones I had, let alone stock bulbs. So you'd definitely have to do a full interior conversion like you said.

I learned that from you as well!! You can only fail so many times. But I agree when you are going to do one component it just makes sense to do the rest. It took me only half an hour to get all the LEDs soldered in. We have great resources from @Blckshdw especially the polarity diagrams which will make it really easy for you. The end result is well worth the effort. And don't get me started about the safety benefits
