6th Gen ('00-'05): Climate Control Bulb Replacements
So after many junkyard runs it seems that I cannot find a climate control module that has a full set of working bulbs on the circuit board. I would even settle for just the innermost bulbs that illuminate the 'D' and 'P' temperature sliders, but have had no luck. Does anyone know of any aftermarket replacements bulbs that I can swap them out for? There are two types of bulbs soldered to the board, blue and clear, and I have actually already tried to desolder and solder working OEM bulbs to a board, but only the exterior blue tinted bulbs worked when powering the board back up. The inner clear bulb that was working prior to replacing it, did not light after soldering it back into the board. Does anyone have experience with this process that they can share? Thanks in advance!
You won't find a better kit on the board. I've used a few of these and they are a 100% factory match. If you search on eBay, you'll find hundreds of blue caps and I'm willing to bet I've tried them all and none of them match the factory color. Try this kit below.

Wow this is exactly what I have been looking for. Thanks so much for the link. Do you have any recommendations how to solder the middle two bulbs onto the board? From my attempts those are the hard ones to remove and replace. The pin holes are very small and the solder joints don't have a lot to work with either.
