Replace Dash Lights

[Kellsonm]

Has anybody replaced the dash lights in their R50? The ones I have out are mostly in the climate control area. It's a 2001 QX4

You have two options: you can buy replacement bulbs or get LEDs instead. You can reference this page for all bulb sizing and LED swapping information:

You may be able to buy replacements from the dealership, but I want to say they don't sell them any more and they'll be ridiculously expensive anyway. You can also buy the 12v microlamps referenced in the bulb sizing page. Just be aware that your existing bulbs have a blue rubber cover to give your dashboard that lovely aqua color. Any replacements won't have that cover, and the covers tend to be melted to the old bulb so you can't usually just peel it off. If you go the LED route and are good with whatever color you buy then no worries.
