Just redid my gauge cluster and replaced the backlighting with LED bulbs. Now there's a pretty striking difference between the warm glow of the AC panel and radio, and the cluster. Since I need to rebuild the AC panel's screen anyway, is there any options for LED backlighting on the AC panel? I'm interested in the three bulbs that backlight the screen (the ones that must be soldered in) in terms of LED alternatives or at least bulbs that are solid white. The buttons seem to be the same or similar as the cluster backlighting.

Just use an led strip and a voltmeter to get the polarity right.

Easier said than done. Requires an LED strip with perfect spacing to where all three LEDs line up near perfectly, is thin enough to be sandwhiched between the plastic and PCB and is the perfect length to complete the circuit without causing fit issues.
I'm gonna see about modifying some T5 cluster bulbs for the purpose.

Can you post some pictures? I've done quite a few similar LED mods but it would help to know exactly what you're dealing with.

Nope. just use a strip and line up the led's you need. The excess will not show. fold'em over
