Okay for the climate control its the exact same thing. get 8 or 9 t4 bulbs of the color of your choice and open it up same way you described. and take out the old bulb, twist and lock. and put the new one in. simple as cake.. now for the radio its different you have to solder and unsolder the bulbs. i personally didn't use a resistor and it works fine.for the radio what I did was i unsoldered the stock bulb and in its place i put a t3 led and i took the prongs out and soldered them. the first time it didn't light. so i unsoldered it again and soldered opposite way. no hot spots because its a forward facing led. and no problems(yet..lol.)Only thing i have left to do is the rest of the radio. but i couldn't figure out how to get the board out. it seemed stuck and i didn't want to break it.

(if it blows the radio i don't car because i have a spare one.) for the radio what I did was i unsoldered the stock bulb and in its place i put a t3 led and i took the prongs out and soldered them. the first time it didn't light. so i unsoldered it again and soldered opposite way. and boom turned out and looks real good. no hot spots because its a forward facing led. and no problems(yet..lol.)Only thing i have left to do is the rest of the radio. but i couldn't figure out how to get the board out. it seemed stuck and i didn't want to break it.

^^ i havent finished yet. lol i have been slacking.. all i have left is to change the bulbs on the buttons of the radio. I cant figure out how to get it apart. I took all the screws off but it still seems to be stuck to the dials.
