Has anyone ever had an issue where ur Steering wheel lights for the volume controls and so forth have burnt out?..anyway to fix the bulb for this with out having to go get this done at a dealer?...

Any info would be great!
Thanks

 

The dealership is about the only place to get the part required. I believe the bulb in the steering wheel control is removable... but its so damn tiny I doubt you could even find an LED that small.

If someone has been able to replace their steering wheel control lights with LEDs that'd be awesome news for you, though.

 

No doubt, I was kinda hoping to skip the dealership...but it looks as if that may be my only option...i'll probably check to see what they charge sometime this week.

 

wonder if there was ever a solution to this? if not, any idea on a dealer cost to fix it?

 

Yes you can replace the bulbs in the steering wheel. The bulbs you require are called neowedge I cannot remember the size of the bulb but at least it will put you into the right direction.

 

lol I've been wondering if that thing was suppose to be on.

 

i had the volume light go out on me. Took it to the dealer and they had to order the whole button assembly because they didnt just sell the LED. it only costed 20$.

 

maybe its just a blown fuse.

 

My seek button went out, but then one day it came back on, and it's been on ever since. Maybe you will get lucky too lol

 

Any more info on this guys? I have the +/- button light out as well as the Band/1-6 button burnt out, and was hoping to do it myself!

 

The bulb type is called a Neo Wedge. Use google

 

depending on year, i know my 07 steering wheel controls use the 0805 surface mount leds

as i have swapped them all out with blue ones

 

What bulb size are they? I have a place that has 3mm, 4mm, and 5mm?

 

A couple of my wheel control lights are out as well, lol. Good find.

Great find man. I'm gonna try a 3mm LED bulb and see where that gets me. I'll post results once I get them.

my light on my wheel have been out a over a year now
the info button never works when i need it.

 

Waiting for my steering wheel lights to go out pol. Thank god its only a dub and some change.

 

Bumppp. Anyone know the size? 3, 4 or 5mm?

 

Hey guys, I haven't been on here in soooo long, but to help with this I can provide the following info: You can get a complete LED replacement for the individual lights in the steering wheel controls. These are Neo Wedge Twist-locks. You can choose from different colors and two different power levels at Super Bright LED's (www.superbrightleds.com). I haven't pulled my switches out yet to confirm what size to order. If anyone knows which size we need, please inform us.

 

They are t3 neo wedge

 

For all SS or just certain years?

 

05/06 use incandescent bulbs. Finding replacements is difficult. I bought some from a site a long time ago. They were too bright and got too hot. Most people use 3mm 12v LED's as replacements. Make sure they are 12volt led's or they will burn up. led-switch.com has good prices on these. You'll need to pop the switches out of the wheel. Twist and remove the bulb holders from the back side. Remove the burned bulb, replace with your LED and reinsert it. LEDs are polarized so, if you put it in and it doesn't light up, untwist the bulb holder, rotate it 180 degrees and put it back in. If you want to keep the color of the bulbs close to stock, the closest you can come is the "warm white" LED. Make sure you transfer the blue silicone filter from the old bulb over to the LED. It wont be exact but it should be close.

07+ use SMT LED's 0805's will work just fine but they are smaller than what was used stock. I used 1210's from superbrightbulbs.com

 

05-06 uses t3. 3mm will not fit. It's way too big.
