    Going to finally upgrade ClimateControl panel backlighting [dead incandescents].
    Looking for quality replacements.
    On broad web search, Im seeing quite a few negative comments on LEDs poor fit, RF interference, light/color output, etc.
    I'd like to hear any recommendation of seller/brand for the 168/194 type replacements [and for that matter any other type/size replacements for FGT interiors] ?

    Follow-up: Are the Sylvania's or Phillips brands worth their 2x costs?

    Yes. Search for replies from me with the word ZEVO. We have threads/post on this topic already, beating the living bejesus out of it it really wasn't necessary to create a new thread. I recommend if you like to do this, please, post in the 1st Gen 'Lunch Table' thread first and people can point you in the right direction.

    thx @Shifty...

    Yeah,...I like the specificity of thread posting and since theyre just words, and since theyre not causing anyone IBS or Prozak dependancy, i think we'll all be OK w/a look, or skip-it w/afterthot of "..not interested, who cares, dont know, f*** that guy, nope, etc..."
    I missed the sign: 'You are now obligated to open this thread'...
    Not that 'I like to do this', but OTOH, weeding thru 100 barely related contexts and disconnected topic discussion posts in 'Lunch Table' or 'What did you do...' , is a popular rabbit hole...however, since you asked politely, of course I'll follow established protocols. 'Dude abides.'

    Now, I'll excuse myself and do 10 Hail Marys and 10 Our Fathers penance w/hopes of not burning in hell forever...or having to replace my SAIS pump, or whatever.

    ...btw: tried contacting 'SBLEDs' back in Mar w/queries: no response...guess i'll go w/Sylvania...
