Hey guys, My LEDs on my auto climate are not working. I'm not interested in making them blue, i just want them to work again! (Behind the mode switch, off switch, recirc switch etc.) Is there a specific way you have to put them in for them to work? I dont know much about them at all. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.

do you have a replacement bulb? they are keyed in. and yes u can put them upside down and it don't light up cause you have the polarity different. radioshack sells 2 bulbs for 3$ or so. Its directly replacement. Writes ups are everywhere. If you find one for another year its still roughly the same.

i know there are pictures everywhere because i search it last week and did it. Free search up there is your friend. GO and learn !

Not LEDs. Just the mini bulb. Does anyone know the part number and place i can get them at? I think they're 12 volt 3 mm. Anyone know a seller?

that's your answer, and probably the avenue with the least maintenance. I had to take apart my center console countless times for blown LEDs i got from ebay.

i replaced my hazard button, rear defroster button and ash tray light with LEDS, guess what only one of the 3 still works after 1 month,, i think the voltage is too high so next time i will slap a bigger resistor on that bad boy, thats this weekends project

480 ohm ressister work best without killing the light to much

I figured this out after alot of trial and error

First of all they are regular filament bulbs.
You can replace them with leds but I guess you don't want to and you never stated you didn't want LEDs in your first post in this thread.

You can try to buy a tiny bulb from radioshack or autozone and try to fit it in the "socket" and twist it back in.

Before you go off jumping down people's throats who are just trying to help you, maybe you should edit both your initial post, and the title of your thread so that you do not say "LEDs". Might be less misleading if you just said "BULBS". MAYBE that will clear up some of the confusion.

Anyway, if you want the exact bulbs, you have to get them from the dealership. The price range is between $3 and $6 per bulb.

If you want to go to radio shack and get some that will cost less, and work, (with some minor modification) then see this thread:
