I have a bulb out behind my 93 ES' AC/HEAT Temp control. I removed the entire thing, and found the bulb that was out. I went to AUTOZONE/ADVANCED AUTO/etc and none of them had it. Is this a dealer item? Anyone know the size of this bulbs (i.e. 194, 168 ??)

i did read that thread; I just wanna know what size those bulbs are...

This might sound odd, but instead of going thru all that trouble of ordering new bulbs for the Temp Control, and replacing the burnt out bulbs, what if ya just took out all the bulbs, and placed a neon light back in there? (i.e. blue) Would everything light up properly? Just an idea...not sure if it would work....

how do you know it's your bulb that's burnt out instead of say, burnt fuse or faulty wiring?

EDIT: nevermind. threads merged.

I know the bulsb are burnt out because I removed the entire assembly yesterday and took out the bulbs. The filament didnt look right and also the end of the bulb was "black". That USUALLY means that the bulb is BURNT OUT! Anyhow, hey "j2tha0e" what are EL SHEETS ??

and since my AFTERMARKET GUAGES thread was closed, let me finish venting on that:

I totally agree that our speedo assembly has a fairly unique look to it, especially with this BRIGHT RED needles. But, what about the unfortunate ones (like me) who cant see how fast we are going because our "fairly unique" needles are BLOWN OUT!! I hate it. I would rather thrown a set of aftermarket guages in there. I know that the needles would still not light up, but the background would be white or blue, and the BLACK needles would easily show up, just like any other car.
