Radio bulbs
« on: June 29, 2023, 09:43:58 AM »
On my GD Sport with climate control, the radio on/off/volume knob is not illuminated. I believe there are 4 lamps that illuminate this area. Anyone know which lamps they are?
thanks.

Radio / climate control bulbs

Hi,

Just replaced these bulbs on my wife's 2007 Sport.

Here's a YouTube clip to assist-it's not in English, but it's obvious what's being done.

Radio bulbs are 3mm. Other bulbs are 4mm if you wish to use wire ended to save money.

I purchased from Honda the four larger bulbs which light up all the buttons on the climate control and purchased the volume control bulbs from Classic car LEDs, and used warm white.
 
Please note that these LEDs do not dim, because of this I found the light too bright for night use, so I removed all four LEDs and using a red Stanley Fine tip marker coloured over the light emitting part of the LEDs. Now pretty close in hue to all the other bulbs.

Just a heads-up- I ordered the 3mm wire bulbs from the attached Ebay listing, wasn't aware there was a London in China, delivery took a small week, not the end of the world, but if your timeframe is limited buy elsewhere-RS for example. New bulbs fitted and bench tested and all working, Will swap out these for the LEDs when I've some spare time to get the dimmable function back.
