Man was it dirty in there. Lots of sticky crud. Looks like the original owner spilled something down the console. Everything was covered in goo

Heres some more http://picasaweb.google.com/fiveota/LEDs

ok, im sick of my HVAC being black out, i just need someone 2 tell me what bulbs i need, no LEDS, just the OEM 4 the AC unit, im guessing these will do :Order 6 "C" bulbs, 1 "A" and 1 "B" and they work. let me know if im wrong

my right side of the dash is black out 2 but i can live with that, when i get bored ill deal with it, but i need my AC
thanks

I just did mine today, but i did something different from everyone else. Everyone used LEDs and since I don't know how to hardwire LEDs to make it look less splotchy, I decided to get blue colored incandescent ones and only LED my "outside" light cause i couldn't order the bulb in anything other than LED.

It is 6 C, 1 A, and 1 B.

Takin pics tonight to see how it came out, cause i couldn't tell during the day

The HVAC is a T4 bulb I believe and the outside button is a t3. I used the OEM housing. Just undo the positive and negative wires from around the bulb housing and it will come right out. I cut the bottom of my led bulbs just enough so they could fit in the OEM housing.

For the HVAC you have to make sure you have the positive and negative leads right as it is polarized ( The car must actually be on).

I need to get better at taking night shots with lights. They came out more bluish in the pics but in person they are white.



And yes, the Outside button is very bright! lol


hey i was wondering, where did you use those type B and Type A? what did you use for the bulb under the display, (is it the LED display screen) i mean the light bulb under your digital clock!!??

If I remember correctly, I used the type B for the Outside button and the type A was for behind the LCD screen.

Thats what I meant!

Thanks for clearing that up. You really can't mix the two up anyway.

lol yeah, for anyone asking, you'll be able to tell the size differences when you take them out. Easy stuff.


On a side note:

While I was back there I realized why some of my HVAC options weren't working. The middle harness was ready to fall out lol. Wasn't touching anything/plugged in at all...
