Dont quoote me, but almost 100% sure I replaced those as well with clear 194's too. Your talking about the WTS and WIF info center above the Radio and HVAC right?

I don't know about loch but those are the ones I'm wanting to replace with LEDs, along with the brake and abs light. You say you've put LEDs in there with no problems or are you saying you just put plain old 194s in there?

Since I just did it I guess I can explain. Take the bezel off. To take the bezel off you'll need to take a 7/16" deep socket and loosen the bolts that hold the steering wheel in place. Once it's off or even just hanging there the HVAC light is kinda right on the top and a little to the right and behind the faceplate part of the HVAC. You can't miss it really, it's a black wire or 2 going right to it. I don't think you need to rotate it or anything either, you just pull it straight out and the replace the bulb pop it back in reassemble and away you go.

In the message center, abs wif wts and brake cant accept a led, the same bulbs as the dash 194 work there, you can use leds in the dash though. the message center uses resistance , leds dont have that but in one directio as a bilb has it both,if that makes sense.

ok thanks for that info, and yes it does make sense, even though it's a little choppy in it's delivery lol

Anyone know about the belt light, and why mine stays on all the time?
