Heater contol lights

[decoupe]

I have one (there are two) dead bulb that illuminates the heater controls and remember someone recently posted the model number - can you repost? Also the bulb type for instrument light illumunation. No luck in Search.

Thanks,

Doug

Special, very small lamps.
I bought them last year. Philips part# 12516 (other makers could have the corresponding lamps too ??
1.2W

Try to get some pressured air to clean, while you are working "back there". I had 35 years of dust flying all over the place when I did it.
The internal light dispenser, via the predecessor to optical cable?? does not give even illumination to the explanatory words, when the new light bulbs are mounted and the car is in the dark.
Not that it really matters though, and better that running on just one light.

Thanks for the info. I had the heater core reconditioned and did the same for the heater assembly as well.
