I just did mine, it all depends on what you want to change. If you want to change all the button lights, it's 9 (8 if you don't want to change the defrost) I believe. (By the way, these are square LEDs, not the round ones.) And if you want to change the backlight, there are three original bulbs, and the defrost switch has it's own LED for backlight, so 4. All the bulbs are 12V, so you need resistors in there. It's a bit of work, and you need a bit of know-how. But all in all, you'll need about 13 LEDs, but I bought 20 and used them all because I made a bunch of mistakes.
I buy my LEDs from www.futurlec.com. They have good prices, and fairly cheap shipping. Good luck with the swap, and there are plenty of guides in case you get stuck. Check the FAQ sticky at the top of the Interior / Electrical forum. |
