Replacing bulbs in HVAC panel?
I saw the thread about re-soldering the board to get the LCD display back working. Did that last night and it came out perfect. Now I need to replace most of the lights as none of the buttons are lit up. I haven't seen a thread discussing that? I'm sure I've looked at it 50 times and just don't remember, but anyone know of what I can use to replace the bulbs?
This is what I'm talking about if it helps. Not the yellow lights that indicate the setting is on.

There's a RadioShack lamp that works real well although not as cheap as they should be. You'll need like 16 of them altogether. 12v, 50ma lamps with a plastic base. 272-1154

Copied and pasted from another one of my posts in a thread. Link to bulbs here

The 7219 bulbs at Radio Shack are actually part number 272-1092. Lighting looks just like factory bulbs. Actual bulbs are a little smaller.
Did a little test before putting in the bulbs. I had in the past bought the lights from McMaster-Carr for when my bulbs would burn out. Before installing now, I went to Radio Shack and bought a package of each the 1154 and 1092 bulbs. Powered them all up and the 1092 bulbs were the brightest and least yellow. The 272-1092 bulbs at Radio Shack are 7219 bulbs just like the McMaster-Carr bulbs are, but they are brighter (at least the set I have are)
But in the end I put in the 1092 bulbs from Radio Shack and I can't tell the difference from the stock bulbs. The 272-1154 bulbs are 50ma and are a tad too dim and yellow. I think those would work well in the IC around the side (i.e. options,reset buttons area) as well as the center console area (i.e. traction control switch)
