Default Where Can I Find This?

Alright I've been fixing little things on my car the past couple of days and tonight after work I decided to take apart my AC/Heater control unit to get the backlit buttons to actually be backlit again. The buttons on the left light up fine, but I noticed about a month ago the ones on the right don't. It's a pain in the *** at night as you can imagine, so I figured I'd open her up and see if it actually was a dead bulb, and it was. Now I need to find out where to buy the replacement bulb.

Here are some pictures, bad quality, taken with my BB.

That's the bulb, sort of hard to see, anyone have any idea where to buy a new one?

blackberry cameras suck.


I'd check out radio shack... if your local one has a good electronics nerd he should be able to find a replacement fast. just bring the bulb in.

Yes they do suck. Alright I'll check tomorrow. I'll probably go to Autozone too, along with other parts stores. We'll see how long this takes.

Pretty sure ecs has them for $0.99, if all else fails, order a handful from there. Your cluster lights are likely to follow suit, I have 3 out myself, carefully rearranged of course so that vital things stay lit and less vital things slightly dimmed. One of these days I'll get around to ordering some replacements. I'm planning on getting the timing belt kit in the near future, probably will get me some bulbs with it to avoid A)shipping on 3 dollars and B)having to make only a 3 dollar transaction ;P

I bought the car with this bulb out . I'll check ECS. Thanks!

Phil I have the BlackBerry Curve 8320. Not really a cheap phone, just a cheap camera. I think it's only 2 MP.
