HVAC bulbs...need to find replacement bulbs...411

Aight everyone...I've been out for a while, but now I have a little annoying problem with my HVAC. (I searched and couldn't find an answer to my exact question).

I wanted to know the replacement bulb for the two bulbs behind the HVAC panel. I pulled it out and it looks like a small blue rubber thing...way smaller than a 194 bulb. Any suggestions..

bulb # 74

go to the cosmetics section and read "check out my new blue dash lights"

I thought it was a #78. Jus go to the bulb isle at your local parts store and try to match it up. Get the highest wattage one you can find in that size and shape.

That's what I think I'll do. I tried to change the bulbs behind my gauges with 194 leds, but I couldn't seem to make them fit. Is a snap on and off, or do I have to actually take the bulb out of the plastic bottom and put the two metal "wires" through???

they come out just like the 194s

www.superbrightLED.com has the #78 bulb in LED, check out the cosmetic section.

Hmmm, I'll have to try it again to see...thanks, oh since I'm on the subject, what's the best 194 leds that will bright up my needles really good. I'll probably search ebay for it...

Does anybody want to post a picture or two about how to take out the headlight bulbs?? I haven't really looked at it too much, except for a minute, and its something i'd rather not screw up!!! Also it didn't look like they just unclicked, I saw some kind of metal clamp??? Thanks

Just unclip it, the metal clamp as you called it...and pull it out of the headlight.. Then the bulb will come out of the connector by pressing down a little and turning...takes a couple minutes.

id say take the plug off first, and for the metal clamp you need to lift it up alittle and then pull back (if your in front of the car push forward) go to auto zone and ask them they will help you.
