For the 99 venture rear heat controls (in the center dash) bottom left round knob , is that small blue led bulb under the cover the illumination? and can I get that at an auto oparts store?

Thanks.

It's the front controls (for the rear heat)

It is the blue loose bulb at the bottom of photo.

I have to add another question: The two white leds (bulbs) that I marked with blue marker, is there a place I can buy those too?

I will try to solder them in. Thanks.

ps, if not maybe someone can tell me what this panel is called? It is the heat,ac,rear defog, ect module (cicuit board)?

Dude, those are not LED's, they are 12v Incadescent lamps, recently replaced all the ones in my stereo and 4 in the HVAC controls on mine, P/U 272-1092 @ Radio Shack, the # is for a 2 pack for $1.79 http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103780&tab=custRatings#showReviews. Good luck, P/U a soldering iron, some solder and some solder wick while you are there if you dont have any.

P.S. the Blue is a small rubber cover over the lamp.

P.S. #2, the replacement lamps look a tad brighter, might replace all the ones in the control. The new lamps dont have the plastic base, but worked fine anyway..... :-)

Thanks, that should help me out a lot. I may just pull the radio out too then because it has burned ones too.
