    I did have one of them go out, but I saw that CandlePower has them in bulk. It was ~$20ish +shipping for I think 10 bulbs. Shipped within a week and are working great! If you want just two, the Amazon ones are decent too

    I have, takes a little finessing to get them in but ive always had issues with them flickering after a few months of use. Not as much light coverage as the oem incandescent but the bright white makes the blue on the temp dial more blue for sure

    My 10 pack of KT928 bulbs should be in today. SO if anybody need some. Lemme know, but they ain't free. Help you guys out. I just throw a stamp on an envelope.

    THe KT928 looks like an exact fit and they work great. The napa ones had the same base, but the actual glass part of the bulb was much smaller. 20170303_145904_zpsygeqxa6d_31fe3fd77c0b3eecaa4cd10a521b5d0c76d78b9c.jpg

    14 bucks for 2 lights is pretty good compared to what the dealer sells them at. I had no problem with my installation, I now have a fully functioning climate control thingy so I'm happy. Happy enough that I wrote a review a few minutes ago giving a 5 star rating.

    Picked theses off eBay,thought they would be better then stock, I was wrong . They barely light up my hvac controls, I wish I could use them , I'm wanting to go blue throughout the truck, if anyone knows a way I can use them let me know.

    Confirmed that the lights work. White instead of orange. I'll try to remember to take a picture tonight.
