Re: HVAC Control lighting, help

I took my radio out to install a stereo system a few weeks ago, and every since then, the lighting for the HVAC controls has not worked.

On the bulbs is a thin coat of blue plastic, that i didnt want to take off because im not sure of its there to keep the heat down or to dim the light. Should i take the blue plastic off. Or could there be something else causing the lights not to work. My HVAC controls work fine, and all the other lights work fine as well. Any help is appreciated. I do plan on putting the all white Nis-Naks in at some time, so if i dont fix it, i guess putting the Nis-Naks in will be fine. Thanks
Okay, the wires that run to your bulbs should be blue, follow them up to the harness right behind the HVAC console. Make sure that is plugged in all the way.

I made the mistake of taking the blue plastic "condom" and they became as Ga16toSr20 said, dull yellow. I replaced my stock 74 bulbs with plasma blue 194 bulbs. I will be doing a write up soon. Only negative thing is that at night you cant see the white part the temperature setting, it lights up blue.

Nis Knacks is out of business but you could do what i did and get white vinyl overlays and install blue lights.
