Does anyone know what you call those small lights that go into the climate control unit that makes it light up. I know the bulbs are LEDs, but what about the small caps? Also where can I get them, I need about four. one for the comfort switch, fog light switch and the switch that dims the dahboard lights.

 

They're actually very small incadescent bulbs (not LEDs). I changed them on my car about 3 years ago when the bulbs burned out on those same switches. What I did was take the bulbs out, went to the local Radio Shack (skip the ones in the mall, as they tend not to carry small parts like these) and found them. I can't recall the part numbers, but basically, look for 12V bulbs the same size.

 

part number 272-1092 from Radio Shack

12v minilamps

 

Thanks for the info. I didn't think about radioshack, but what about the small caps the leads of the bulb wrap around, I'm missing 2 of those. Can I get them from the dealer?

 

I doubt the dealer would sell those separate from the entire switch.
You could probably make one pretty easily with a wide rubber band or something plastic if you get creative
that or go to a junkyard and they might even let you have those pieces for free

 

Are those for the white colored bulbs or like blue or green colors? If they are white, where can I get colored ones from?

 

Hey thanks guys, you all helped me out. all the lights are on!!! sweet!

 

for the record, i went to my dealership looking for these caps and they didnt carry them. only the full switches, which weren't in stock. so like craig said, junkyard or ghetto-ize.
