Title: climate control light
Post by: Loch View on 17 February 2009, 22:32:35: My left 2 controls of the CC do not light up. Does anyone know what type of bulbs are used?

I (stupidly) believed the guy at Vauxhall that he knew what I was talking about, and as I'd never seen the bulbs that go in these I believed him, but I was given the wrong bulbs first time round.

I can take a pic tonight if that'd help, but they come in a little plastic holder that holds them in the pcb... :y

Title: Re: climate control light
Post by: Sad on 18 February 2009, 08:24:54: There're five of them in total, if I were you I'd replace all five... :y

Post by: Loch View on 18 February 2009, 08:31:40: tried the part numbers but can't seem to find them. Where did you get yours?
Title: Re: climate control light
Post by: Sad on 18 February 2009, 08:35:52: Vauxhall's... Not sure you can get them anywhere else, someone else might know that...

After I'd taken my centre console to bits I took one out and went back (after having put it back together) so I could show them what I wanted...
Title: Re: climate control light
Post by: Loch View on 18 February 2009, 08:39:00: I'm actually wanting to replace them with LED bulbs as they are brighter and last a lot longer.
Title: Re: climate control light
Post by: Sad on 18 February 2009, 08:46:18: I wouldn't know where to start with that to be honest... Sorry... :-/

Title: Re: climate control light
Post by: Loch View on 18 February 2009, 09:02:05: My only issue now is....
do I need coloured or white :-/
Don't know if the dash is pre-coloured
Title: Re: climate control light
Post by: Welung666 on 18 February 2009, 09:06:32: Yes but only slightly, if you fit a coloured one it will show the colour (just don't get gay blue ;D)
Title: Re: climate control light
Post by: Loch View on 18 February 2009, 09:09:06: lol no, not blue.

I'd go for red then :)
Title: Re: climate control light
Post by: Black Knight on 18 February 2009, 09:14:19: Great link Rudd.

Though thay state thats dash bulbs i.e speedo rather than centre console...or are they the same fitting.

5 behind the centre console....how many behind the dash??

Post by: Loch View on 18 February 2009, 21:43:29: I forgot to ask....
The display in the cc is hardly visible at day and impossible to see at night. I'm guessing new bulbs won't fix that?

Post by: Welung666 on 18 February 2009, 22:22:36: And don't forget the cable ties on the release bar to save scratching up your hands next time you gotta have the climate out :y
Title: Re: climate control light

Yup, radio needs to come out
Title: Re: climate control light
Post by: Loch View on 18 February 2009, 23:15:07: hmm..got to find a way to keep power to the radio then :-/
Title: Re: climate control light
Post by: Loch View on 20 February 2009, 15:19:33: LEDs came today, replaced all 5 and all work except the display for the fan speed. Swapped bulbs around but no luck.
I was fortunate with the radio though, the code was written on the outside of the casing ;D

Awesome :y :y

Don't know what to suggest about that display that's not working though, sorry :-/
Title: Re: climate control light
Post by: Loch View on 20 February 2009, 18:20:17: I'm not too bothered really. At least I can see to what temp it's set again. The fan speed I can adjust by ear ;)
