Does anyone have any clue what the number or part # of the bulb is that lights' up the background on the heater controls of a 2nd Gen? How about anything for a replacement? If you take it all apart and pop out the clear plastic piece the bulb itself is green it doesn't shine through green plastic like everything else. It's really small like a maglight bulb almost. I would really love to get this sucker blue as it's the only thing left in my dash that is green and it's driving me nuts. I usually turn the lights all the way down when I drive.

 

Corey did a writeup on this on his tips page...

doesn't give a part number, but it looks like this would be a common automotive bulb...

 

Thanks I will have to see if I can get it out when I pull apart my dash this weekend to fix my screw up from last weekend

 

That thing is a PITA to get out...so be patient and don't break it off in the socket! j/k I was also trying to change mine to blue, and i suceeeded..sort of. problem is now the panel isn't illuminated enough, so im going to try and find a brighter aftermarket bulb as well

 

Joey, I am helping a guy out on another site, and I just got the bulb # for him by the way.
Psrt # is 09081-11018, and my dealer sells it for $2.63.
When I replaced mine, I got it for aorund 50 cents at a local parts house.
Don't know the cross reference # he used for me though.

 

UK.. the cross reference # at the parts store should be a 74 type insrument/courtesy bulb. I got 2 for like $1.25

Hope this helps

Eric
