    Default I Tried. Light bulbs for climate control

    I’m not having much luck finding bulbs for my 84s climate control. Does anyone make these?

    TIA

    Should be ready available at parts store. On my 85, the bulbs are, 1892 and 194. I am working on mine right now to swap to LEDs. Does your' 84 have the orange dash?

    Also a note of caution, I melted a perfectly good HVAC controller face with the wrong incadescent bulb. It was really bright for a few minutes then it melted through the face plate, really sucked.

    I love the LEDs. I have had them in the cluster for about a year. The first 1892 LED replacement I ordered for the climate control was too big so I re ordered another 194 with the socket and wires and plan on adapting it to replace the 1892 spot, the one that lights the fan switch and defrost, pretty sure it will be fine. I will post pics when I get them in. Enjoy the holiday.

    Here are some options for the 1892 in the climate control unit.

    https://www.superbrightleds.com/sear...1892,197,8946:

    As stated you have to be careful with replacements as there is not really any extra clearance in the control unit for a larger bulb. I personally would probably go with the second bulb listed as it is actually slightly shorter and no wider than the stock 1892. The first listing may work too, but it may be a bit too bright at 96lm. Good Luck!

    I ended up using the red LED, https://www.superbrightleds.com/more...ofit-car/2077/, and am super pleased with the way it turned out. It was a snug fit but took a few minutes to work it in there and now lights up just as bright as everything else.
