Default Climate control **** bulb? (3ES)

I know there are 4 bulbs for the hvac with brown covers, and 2 black ones for the led screen, I was going to order a few hvac bulbs, but my **** also doesn't have a light, anyone know how to replace the light inside it? do I just simply pull the **** and there's an led? that's what it looks like here

whatever you were trying to say looks like it was censored... lol.

I did not have to replace the bulbs in the ES, but I did do something similar in my dad's 2001 Honda Odyssey, literally all his bulbs were burnt with 287k miles on it.

Anywho we replace them all with LEDs, I bought this kit off Ebay, and they were pretty decent quality for the money, considering what the dealer charges for these bulbs.

The fitment was a little tight, I had to slighty shave a few with an exacto knife to get it to fit perfectly.

But the output and color was much nicer than stock.

here's the link to the bulbs.

If the ES300's HVAC is anything similar to the Solara's it should be fairly straight forward:

heh thanks speedkar, the hvac looks very similar to your solara, i'm sure it uses the same stock bulbs, you're the best! i never knew led bulbs can be pulled from sockets like that, learn something new from each of your videos I swear

and 808mcv20l i didn't notice that, it was kn-obs.. things you twist.. no idea why that was censored lol

finally have some hope, i was thinking no one would respond to this post!
stock bulbs should be fine for this car, since it's my mom's.. working on led bulbs on my other cars though, need to run a new wire for an led

FYI if the **** light is out you have a bulb out. The **** is lit by the brown backed bulb closest to it. Just make sure those all are good and it will light up.
