HVAC Bulbs....
Photobucket appears to have killed all the threads on this looking to convert my HVAC controls to blue on a 2003 STI.
Can anyone shed some light of what I need to replace these with please....? https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...8c6059344a.jpg There's 4 of them mounted across the PCB (not interested in swapping out the LED's, just the 4 bulbs) https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...106d22f5d5.jpg Cheers :thumb: |
You replace the actual bulb rather than its holder, using something like this

T5 led bulbs loads on ebay

I have some T5 LED's left over from my clocks, let me attempt this again & report back :wonder:
Thanks. |
I am back... I had to tear the original bulb out of the holder & it was just wired in to the base of the holder: https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...73e50246b.jpeg I am guessing this is just a case of replacing these with blue LED’s & wrapping the wires round the holders as the T5’s I have are the wedge type & no way to push fit them in? Thanks *Edit: And if just swapping with a standard LED are they all universal or does it need to be a specific wattage or something :confused: |
Bump anyone, I never figured it out :cry:
|
following this as i need some too,
the two links 1 dont work and the other isnt whats in the picture |
I got as far as putting a bulb similar to (possibly the same) as what Dom suggests, in the standard holder which did fcukall.
I have T5 LED’s in my clocks already & there would be no straight forward solution to install these. However thinking about it, it would make sense to use the same blue LED’s that are in my clocks & ignition barrel ring :idea: I might have to get creative fixing some LED’s to the original bulb mounts with jumper wires :norty: |
Just been onto dales subaru and the hvac bulbs are £5.95 each plus vat

Right, if you're squeamish look away now ;)
On the left is the stock bulb holder which is 6mm in diameter (the shaft :norty: ), on the right is a T5 bulb mount as used in the clocks which is 8mm... https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...02a70b09e8.jpg :wonder: https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...4ff78b0f3f.jpg Hole drilled out to 8mm & a bit of manipulation with a needle file... https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...fc2e7a44db.jpg Fits the T5 holder straight into the HVAC PCB... https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...84745f6099.jpg :notworthy https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...8813e9d4b1.jpg |
Back in the whip :cool:

Don't you remove old bulb put new led in and solder it to the board ?
