I Finally got tired of having a bunch of burned out bulbs, The Car has No Soul if half of the lighting is burned out, And i want my car to feel Alive,
SO,
After searching for these everywere the only place you can get them is at the dealer. But they wanted 8 bucks per bulb. Yes. thats 8 Bucks.Plus they would have to (ORDER) them. hell nah.
So i got some bulbs for 4 bucks and did my own wiring.














4 bucks. There were a few other routes i could have taken. This is the one i felt like doing.. Its an option.

 

Hell ya. I actually used ones out of the wiper switch (have a few laying around), just pulled the bulb out of the wiper switch socket, straightened the legs, & put it into the socket that fits the logicon.

If you re-solder where the LED's are soldered to the board, the ones which indicate what mode/recirculate/AC is on, they'll all come alive too

Glad to see I'm not the only one obsessing over the little things!

 

yea i have a problem with the LED selector light also.. I might do that later. just to lazy. I really dont know how to do it. I would have to read up on it before i take it apart.. The reason i got after market bulbs is also it was 0.7 candle power. the original were 0.5 candle power. SO its slightly brighter. also i lost all the plastic peices and i still could not for the life of me find a 12 volt 0.5 or 0.7 candle power bulb in any parts store. They just dont have them. its a shame

 

I picked up a bag of these for something like $0.15 apiece a year or two ago when I started rebuilding wiper switches, logicons, and the like. I can't remember the site now, for the life of me, though.

 

I never found the logicon bulb cheaply, but the other bulbs (wiper, cruise control and headlight switches) were avalable from multiple sources for $0.15. Went ahead and paid Mazda around $5 for the logicon bulbs. I actually sold off the rest of my bag of 100 to various people on the forum for cost of the cheap bulbs.

 

i just use standard replacement bulbs and redo the contacts into the original sockets. either crimp or a dab of solder.
