SLE Climate Control Backlights?

The tutorial for replacing the bulbs in the auto HVAC is covered on page 2 of Gen 1-1.5 tutorial towards the bottom. Hope this helps (if I understand what your asking).
Without ammunition, the USAF would be just another very expensive flying club.

For the auto HVAC, I would use 74 LED or color bulbs, not a color plastic or shapie.

But it's just my idea, all depend what kind of theme you want to do,
I think you need to think about a theme or do a plan of what you want before to start messing there.
Some people want to match color with the aftermarket radio they bought, etc, some wants to match the gauges, some want all blue,red,orange...

Don't forget to change the clock color, leaving it "green" is very ugly.
The only way I know to change the clock is to put a color over it,

blue plastic=blue clock
red plastic =orange clock.
yellow plastic = ??

I could try to find a "indigo" display to solder the clock and make the clock more beautiful, but it would take lot of time searching for pieces,etc..don't worth for now spending my time on this, impact is so little.


I agree if the auto HVAC unit for the SLE uses LEDs to begine with hten I would replace the green lights with LEDs too. Coloring with sharpies is only good for bulbs.
