Adding LED Backlights to a 2007 Jeep Wrangler JK AC/Heater Climate Control Panel.

Because the original incandescent lights were burned out I decided to replace them with green LED lights and it made a huge difference.

Awesome video and super useful. Thanks for taking the time to create such good content with all the details step by step. Little trick to distinguish the the small round LED polarity if the leads are cut, aside from the leads length (long lead lead being the +), if you look underneath the round plastic body of the LED , the side that is not round (cut straight ) indicates the negative lead (-), a little like the LED symbol on the diagrams, the arrow indicates the current flow (+) ----I˃I----- (-)

Thanks, that is good info to know.

It made a big difference in night driving.

I have bulbs burnt out as well but I don't want to do the soldering to put in LED's. Did you happen to identify what exactly the bulbs were? I'd like to have them on hand before dismantling the dash. Thanks!

Do you happen to know the OEM bulb number to order new ones? I can replace the old ones, but I didn’t want to take it out till I have everything. Some of the bigger ones are out too!

Those should work on the dimmer too I believe. So when you dim down the lights on your IP it will dim everything together.

[@737mechanic]

I didn't even think about trying that. I am running out right now to see.

[@737mechanic]

The dimming does work.
