Default Dual climate control dim...

Hi Folks,

Is there a replaceable bulb in the dual climate control? I am planning to rip this car apart soon anyway (hud), and the display on the climate control is noticeably more dim than the rest of the dash...

Probably a stupid question, but hoping for an easy answer...

Thanks in advance...

This happened to me also (and many others on here). There is no replaceable bulb, the only fix is a completely new climate control head unit.

What year is it? As I understand it, there isn't a bulb and it must be replaced as a unit. If you Vette is a 97, the display retails for over $1100 (or 700ish vender prices). If a =>98, then the display is in the 2-300 range.

Best of luck!
