When I replaced mine (because one of 'em had burnt out) I believe the blower/fan lite was reddish brown. I replaced all 3 with clear and found them at a local electronics place. If the thought of changing the bulb color freaks you out 8-)), and you can only find clear ones, you can take a red magic marker and "paint" the one your gonna put in the middle.

Q
91 735iL

Can someone tell me if the light for the blower speed dial in the temp control panel is supposed to be clear or not. I pull the circuit card to replace the light to replace the light. According to the multimeter there was continuity but the bulb was a brownish color and the other bulbs for the temp dials were clear. Is the blower speed light supposed to be clear? Anyway I went to radio shack to get a bulb and they didn't carry them. So I reassembled the panel and put it back in the car. Now the driver's side bulb is out. Can these 12v bulbs be bought somewhere other than the dealer? I can try a electronics wholesaler this week that may have them.

Thanks,
Mark Dorr
