Default Dash Bulb Replacement
I have a base c6 with several bulbs out on the information buttons and AC controller. Anyone swapped these or upgraded to LED? Just want to know if I am getting in to a mess

Led bulbs can cause RF noise, and block the fob signal.

So your looking for standard 7219 bulbs, and that you will de-solderer the old ones out, and solder in the new bulbs.

I have not had any issues with LED in the DIC and HUD buttons blocking signal for the FOB.
All the lights in my C6 are LED except the HVAC controller and door buttons.
