Last night, while oh so carefully gluing on my new trim rings for my instrument cluster, I got to thinking... I had lots of time to sit and stare at my dash while the superglue dried!
In many cases, these aftermarket bulbs don't last nearly as long as factory originals. I have no personal, long-term experience with these blue LED's, but wonder about their quality. I sure would hate for one of these bulbs to burn out in the climate control. What a pain to replace!
What brought this to mind was when I put some bluish headlamps in my Lexus LS400. They worked for about 4 months and then one burned out. My mechanic told me those bulbs were crap for the most part and that I should run factory bulbs and be happy with original equipment.
We all may want to think about this before we go replacing tiny bulbs in our climate control units for the sake of color uniformity. Might be more hassle than it's worth in the long run, and who knows, I might just break something while removing dash pieces.
