Some of mine are kinda dim. Like around the heater control and some of the "twist/turn" adjusters. How easy/hard is it to replace these lights? Id like to just replace all of them while Im at it, even though most of them are fine with a small percent of them slightly dim. Thanks :D
 
Some are easier than others.... The lamps have a little twist mount plastic thingy so that they are easy to replace, yet cost alot. Most of the bulbs are covered with an amber rubber stuff that "colors" the light slightly and "diffuses" the rays. Sometimes this rubber toasts a little and turns brownish, so less light can come thru. Look at one - you'll see what I mean. You can remove the rubber without blowing up the car!
Do you know how to remove the center dash section? Read this post: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/sho...&threadid=21802 . Now, some of the push button controls have lamps in them also. A few of these buttons have 'permanent' bulbs [non-replaceable] and some have a replaceable bulb... They may be a different 'special' size, though. IT'S NEVER EASY, IS IT !!!
Let me know what you find.:cool:
