CEC Industries #8640 Bulbs, 14 V, 1.12 W, Wire Terminal Base, T-1.25 Shape (Box of 10)

Installed CEC bulbs over 5 years ago and the bulbs are still lighting the dash controls on our 2009 Toyota Sienna and 2006 Lexus LS430. Be sure to order the correct bulb size and wattage for your specific application - and do try to order the bulbs rated 14-volt. Bulbs rated 12-volt have a tendency to burn out sooner, which is why those bulbs may receive bad Amazon reviews. For the price of 1 or 2 bulbs at the dealer, buy 10 CEC bulbs and replace them yourself. You may have to cut the excess wire leads to fit your application re-using the old, original bulb base.

I didn't want to spend what the dealer was asking to repair a light on my dash, so I found these and they worked perfectly! This was used for a 2007 Ford SUV... For the headlight dash switch. (Many makes and models use the same configuration) The back light was burnt out and this bulb fixed it in minutes! All 10 in the package were shipped well and all work. I'll update this review if the bulbs don't last too long. I don't see why they would fail as others stated, maybe they didn't clean off the oils from their hands after they touched the bulb, which can cause bulbs to burn out quickly.

If you’re on the fence, DO IT IT’S SO EASY. you don’t even need a YouTube video. 1. Use hands too gently pull the whole center panel off, grip on trim. 2. Carefully look for and disconnect all connectors. 3. Locate the bulbs on the backside of hvac controls, they’re at the bottom of the recesses, twist left gently with flat head. 4. Remove bulbs, look on the bottom of them and you’ll see the wires. You can poke the end and pull the wires up and straighten them. 5. Pull old bulbs out of housing, and for me I trimmed the cupped end off the WHITE bulbs. You can feed the wires and wrap them how they were before. I FOUND THAT THEY’RE HARDER TO REINSTALL THAN THE ORIGINAL BULBS BE GENTLE.

For the center-console A/C and heater controls, these bulbs work. The OEM bulbs are 9.5mm long, and these are around 10.5mm; so far, the extra 1mm hasn't been a "fit" issue.

These are a good replacement for 4mm bulbs used in GM Radios and HVAC/Climate Controls. Just make sure the bulbs you are replacing are 12V rated. I replaced the six 4mm bulbs in the manual climate controller for my 2006 Suburban, but it turned out the controller uses 6V bulbs as these were very dim when the lights are on. They were perfect for the three 4mm bulbs in the radio though!

Moderate skill to swap bulbs (reused bases) but they work, fit well, and match factory brightness. Not sure whether worth $1 per bulb, but didn't see any high quality alternatives.

I unsoldered the old burned out back light bulbs on my 2005 Buick lesabre (with out climate control). These soldered right into place and now I can see the buttons in the dark again. Just be cautious when trying to save the gel cap bulb covers and the plastic “socket” from the old bulbs.

If your Heater Control Unit has burnt out bulbs, Honda Part Number 79671-SMA-941 Neo-Wedge 14V 80MA, these are a perfect replacement. These are bare bulbs and you'll have to reuse the plastic bulb holder in the heater unit. Some tweezers and wire cutters are all you need. Perfect fit and cheaper replacement than the Dealership wanting $20/bulbs.
