You could try lextech.org. But this is a relatively small project that I wanna handle on my own. Gonna fix a bad cigarette elemement and do the Ipod dock mod while the center console is out too.

i just realized something if you trying to replace the Climate control Screen backlight...thats not an easy job and if you dont have soldering experience i woudlnt recomend doing it. Send it to somone that can do it for you....any place that replaces screens also installs bulbs.

Retro-Solutions sells some very high quality LED bulbs for pretty much every application. I have them in two of my cars and they are much brighter then others I have seen and tried, additionally they have amazing reliability. They are a tad on the higher end for pricing especially with their HID kits, however they do have a lifetime warranty on the bulbs and ballasts. Quite honestly they have the best focal point and cutoff of any kit i've seen on the market! Compared to DDM which also has a lifetime warranty... well it just doesn't compare. They just offer a superior quality product that can't be beat. I would recommend any lighting applications from Retro-Solutions.

This can be your last resort if you are on a budget. $4 for 4 bulbs. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/lig...ate-bulbs.html
