Cost of bulbs is exactly the same as of the original ones, however lifespan is 100 000 hrs (nearly 11.5 years of continuous lit). Well, I am not so optimistic, and I took just 10% of it lifespan, which gave me around 1 full year continuous lit. I always drive with my lights on, and I use my car for no more than 3hrs per day. In this situation that gave around 9 full years before bulb will"die". I think I will get another car sooner than this will happen.
Bulb: SMD T5 286 Wedge Light Bulb 5050 SMD LED(I used the blue one)
Torx T20
Phillips
Anyway lets get started:
To make it easier for you, you may remove the card terminal/pocket
Now, this is very tricky part of your job. It is tight and you will have to follow step by step to safely remove the fan knob panel
Push it inside
Twist it clockwise a bit
Pull the marked on the picture holder outside
and pull the knob panel out
Remove wires and remove 2 bulbs. You will have to twist the bulb holders anticlockwise direction by 90 degrees
Just to be a 100% sure it were bulbs nothing else I checked them
SMD bulb
SMD bulb is sensitive for polarity, so if it does not lit, then put it again opposite way
That is the way it looks like; nice blue color
Thx
Excellant
