jpv123 Posted April 2, 2003 Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 O.K. I went to the dealer to buy those tiny little HVAC bulbs everyone said was $6 each. They stated they don't sell them and I have to buy the whole unit for $850 :x . No F-in' way. Anyway I have a friend who will do the soldiering for me. I just have to get the bulbs. Does anyone now the voltage and value (brightness) of the bulbs? I'm talking about the ones that light the buttons up on the automatic climate control. I'm gonna try and find them at a electronics warehouse. Any help in any direction (except backwards) would be appreciated. Thanks!!!! I don't see any stamp on the bulbs themselves.

NOHC_WBody Posted April 2, 2003 Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 BALD JESUS ON A SCOOTER!!!!!!! 850 dollars? Let me see what I can find in my local yard. There's several Cuttys there. At the least, I can see if I can get you one of them bulbs...or even the whole unit. Yours is the auto unit, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOHC_WBody Posted April 2, 2003 Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 No prob man. Of course, if I go get you the one that you need, mine will blow up. What's the most you'll give for a complete unit, just so I have room to negotiate with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted April 2, 2003 Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 Radioshack- microbulbs WILL replace them. theyre 12 volt, look in the area with all the misc crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpv123 Posted April 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 Not sure yet. I'm a little concerned that those bulbs may be bad also since they are the same age. Let me try and find them new first cause I'll change all 8 (even at $6 each its a cheap fix) and I know Im good for a while. I hear this is common on these cars. If not I'll let you know.

jpv123 Posted April 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 Thanks Brian I'll check out Radio Shack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted April 2, 2003 Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 The bulbs cost-----get this---pack of 2 for $1. w00! Replace them all once you get it apart, because new bulbs are brighter than old ones, and you WILL notice it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpv123 Posted April 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 Brian- I take it you've done this already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted April 2, 2003 Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 My driver info computer, and 3 Cutlass climate controls. The bulbs were a direct replacement for the computer, the original climate control bulbs were bigger, but the radioshack bulbs were still a little bit brighter!
