Dim heater panel

[hamsey]

I just noticed that I cannot read my heater/ac panel when I have the lights on. Anyone experience this. Is it just a light bulb? Thanks in advance.

More than likely it's just a bulb. Post up your vehicle info and someone should be able to tell you what size bulb and how to change it.

Do you have the auto climate control with the LCD panel? If so exactly which part is dark, the LCD screen, the buttons, or everything?

 

[hamsey]

Yes, It is the climate control LCD panel. The buttons are good. Not sure about the text buttons will have to see about those tonight. It is definitely the LCD panel.

There are two bulbs that illuminate the LCD panel and they are neo wedge B bulbs. I know autolumination.com has them. The buttons are illuminated by two neo wedge A bulbs.

Gunner,

Thank you for the information. Will be ordering from autolumination. Any info. on how to change them?

Yeah i've changed them before so I am very familiar with the process. Have you ever disassembled the center bezel trim before, around the stereo, or have you ever installed a stereo in your runner? Just to get an idea of how much info you need. . .

Not in the runner but in other vehicles. I checked last night after dark and it is only the panel that I cannot read. Text buttons are fine. I will go ahead and replace them all when I do it. Thanks!
