Does this list of bulbs include the actual A/C on/off indicator light? That is the one that is out on mine. I'd replace all the knob LEDs as well at the same time but trying to figure out if this includes that on/off indicator or not? Thanks!

I think not. That bulb is an integrated LED. Are you sure your ac actually comes on?

My A/C Works fine but that bulb is so dim I can't tell if sometimes it's been turned off. Obviously it's easy to notice after a few minutes if the air isn't getting cooler but trying to use that light as an indicator would be nice.
 
I am slowly finding lighting gremlins in my truck and have a few questions about what should, and what shouldn't be lit.

Should there be a green backlight for the side mirror defroster? All the others are lit.

Is there supposed to be a "courtesy light" in the driver side floorboard? The passenger side is lit when I get in the truck. I cannot find a bulb on the driver side.

In the picture below you can see the rear defrost, rear air and mirror defrost all use surface mount LED. The T5s are behind the clock/temp display.

Are these surface mount LED's available anywhere? Some of mine were dim so I de-soldered them thinking I had seen that they are available. Now I can't find anything. :doh:
 
Resurfacing an older string here. Back up and running, stuck with the green and went with the T4 neo wedge option on amazon (WLJH brand). 10 for $12 Prime, hard to beat and rolled the dice. Learned a few things - relatively easy to pop the controls out of the dash, and open up the unit. Easy to get the old lights out. A bit challenging to get the new lights in right, because you have to get the 'poles' correct if I'm saying that right? Meaning - each bulb can go in 2 ways, one way works one doesn't. Not sure how to tell other than trial and error, so took me 3-4 times to figure it out after plugging the harnesses back in every time to test. Taking the picture I realized that I still don't have one bulb on below the hazard light button (the button to the left of 'rear' is a blank so looks off but nothing there) so will be getting in there yet again! Got lucky that the T4 LED green matches the deck controls color, it is certainly very green (mixed feelings). Got unlucky that now that I have light again I notice that the climate control nobs need to be repainted/order new (light shining thru high wear areas). Lastly - replacement bulbs function correctly with the dimmer switch.
