doesnt it suck that those lights are out on a car that is barley 3 years old(mine). I mean, it sucks because you have to take out the whole freakin dash to replace those and if you dont want to deal with it, its gonna be like a 100 bucks from the dealer to do it.

same thing here too. My control **** and the first few flow control buttons lights have been on/off for sometimes now. Just too lazy to pop out the dash.

Arn't they the same bulbs as the bulb used in the ignition ring? If so than it is a 74 bulb. I did the ignition ring in Blue and I got the bulbs off ebay. The seller has lots of diferent colors. I also oredred some purple ones but decided to go w/ blue in my car. I am not sure so dont't take my word for it. Can any one else confirm this?

They're bulbs, not LEDs and get powered from +12V. Not sure about wattage.

On the Accord they use bulbs in the gauge cluster but the switches are LEDs. My buddy just replaced all of them with blue on his 2000 Accord

AC control lights are easy to change. They are bulbs with blue rubber covers. The part# is 27545-1w600 it cost like 2 bucks.

I like the Blue lights in cars. I want to do all the lights in my car blue (A/C controls, Radio, and gauges) I just recently put Blue LEDs in my driver and passenger side window and lock controls. The Passenger side window control was a PITA b/c I had to use a resistor. But in the end it looks much better than the greenies.
