Can I Replace This Bulb?
Hi Guys,
So the AC/Heat controls aren't lighting up in my 86 maro, can I replace the bulb or is it a sealed deal? And if I can replace it does anyone know the bulb #. Couldn't find in on rockauto.com which usually has everything.
Thanks
Alex

Re: Can I Replace This Bulb?
It's a single #194 bulb on the right side of the controller. First, remove the trim piece from around the radio and HVAC, then you can remove the screws and pull the controls out, but you may want to get under the passenger side to undo the cable to the heater door to make it easier to pull out the HVAC controls, that's just a push nut over a pin to hold the cable end on.

Re: Can I Replace This Bulb?
You might consider a higher intensity 194 or perhaps a 194 LED replacement. Even then, however, the light probably won't be as helpful as we'd wish.

Alex, you should be able to get one of those bulbs at Autozone.

Re: Can I Replace This Bulb?
Thanks for the info guys. Is there any logical reason why Camaros have crappy lighting inside vs a Firebird. Cause my bird is way better lit, guess they just cheaped out? I'm gonna go LED for all the bulbs, hopefully I'll be able to live with it
