I did a search but came up with nothing.

Can someone provide me with a part number for the bulbs that are in the steering wheel controls? Are they a GM only part or is there another place that would have them perhaps in different colours? I thought I saw a post a while back on this but couldn't find it. Thanx in advance!

 

Bump.... i thought this would be easier to answer that how many cavemen does it take to change a light bulb.

 

if your refering to the steering wheel control lights. they are a soldered led to the circuit board and you need to replace the whole thing, which would be why you can't find a part number for them.

 

When i removed the control on the right side of the steering wheel and there are 3 brown removable spots on the back.

 

well i know for a fact that those bulbs are non-replaceable. are you still within warranty as it is covered.

 

Nope i have exceed the millage for the warranty

 

... I changed mine out. I made them red All you need to do is find a 12v led. I had to order mine I couldn't find any 12v around so I did a search online and found them.

 

Thank you for the info!!

 

did you solder your hinow or just run the wiring to the fusebox

 

From what i can tell you push the LED in and fold over the leads into the track

 

have you opened your's up yet. mine is different from yours but at work whenever the lights go we replace the whole unit as the bulbs are supposed to be soldered to the circuit board.

 

I have.. as previously mentioned that once you take out the control out of the steering wheel on the back there are 3 brown circles which the LED mount to. It could be that your car is different. It also may depend on the year of your car. Mine is a 2006 with the older style steering wheel. For the 07 3 spoke i dont know what the procedure is.

 

I desolder the stock lights and then solder in the leds on the bored

put the led in that brown circle and then solder it to the board

 

how do the buttons come out

 

thats what i thought.

 

Wow, I was wondering about this also.. now I know.

 

Is there a how to on this yet? Since you're replacing them anyways any chance you could take lots of pics and make one?

 

how do you take off the buttons i tryed the hammer method they just break

 

ROFL, I sincerely hope you didn't actually try that.....

 

no but i though people would get a good laugh

 

yes i do believe there is a how to in the how to section

 

I went to the dealership to check to see if the bulbs were available turns out nope so the parts hunt begins

 

Bump.. i am still looking for a source to get replacements bulbs. ANYONE???

 

Im still looking for an answer anyone??

 

.... 3mm 12v leds
