    hey guys, i couldnt find a thread on this if there was one but anyway

    just wanted to know what the lighting is like on the manual AU climate control unit, like bulb type etc and if its possible to change them. mine currently dont illuminate, is this from a fuse or just blown bulbs?

    any help would be greatly appreciated :)

    bulbs easy to change, yake of the faceplate of the controls and behinf it theres a long thick clear perspex type thing. behind that is the globe wich is a t5. I replaced mine with a blue led :). just be careful taking the perspex piece off from memory it was a bit tricky, thought it was going to snap.
    cant remember anything else as i did it ages ago

    its just one, thats wat the perspex thing is there for, it absorbs at desperses the light. if your going to go led or anything be careful to try and find one thats a small head on it. The one i used was a multi angle led and i had to force the perspex a little to make the T5 fit behind it.

    im certain that its only 1 as i only had 1 T5 blue LED left over from something else and al my climate controls light up blue

    got the led and yanked the first plastic bit off no problem, but when i got to the inner perspex part it snapped in two when i literally touched it >_<, but nothing abit of cheapo superglue couldnt fix :p

    looks decent would of liked it too be alittle brighter but meh.

    will get some picks up soon
