Heater Controls - Should they light up?

[monzablue16v]

I have a guide on how to replace the bulb from when I installed leds. Should be able to follow it to put in a bulb instead of an led. Let me know if you want it and i can mail it to you 

Put it up on here I'd like to have a look as well, tempted to LED it whilst the dash is in bits

I know this is an old topic but it applies to what i need to know. The bulb that is in the heater controls, does anybody know what it is call because i have got into the housing and need a replacement (the old one i tried to get out smashed) also can you get them in red?

Thanks

Its just a 12v 5mm LED. You can get them in any colour you want ...

Be careful removing it though, its not easy, the grey bit cracks very easily.

I've already removed it n it cracked abit but nothing some glue won't sort out. Got some LEDS. Gonna try em out now

Dont you need a resister? i got some leds from maplin for £3 last week to replace mine but when i tried my fascia out on a small battery they glowed once then blew.

Not for a 12v led.

All I got was a 5mm 12v LED that cost about 46p n it works perfectly. Took abit of fitting cos of the seized parts but looks the part now
