Post lights for switch panels - wjshed - 06-28-2015

Does anyone know how to change and where to get bulbs for those aviation style post lights on the switch panels? I have a 1995.
Thanks,
Bill

Bill,
To avoid confusion as to specifically what you are referring to, consider a photo in the future.  I'll guess you mean these:

If I selected the right lights, replacing is a simple R&R. Unscrew the panel, pull back and remove & install the new lights one at a time. Once the wires are cut the lights are removed from the front of the panel as I recall.

I think Bill is referring to the black "lamp posts" that illuminate the surface of the switch panels.

The 14v pn is GE330. There are some LED replacement bulbs such as this place...

Bit more expensive but probably last forever...

Can they be turned off or do they illuminate full time?

Mine operate with the dash lights

Ditto on dash lights - and mine dim w/dash lights also.

Yes, I am referring to the black post lights that illuminate the switch panels.

Jimmy,
Do you know if the LED bulb is dimmable? All of mine are controlled with dimmer knobs.
Thanks,
Bill

LED bulbs can be dimmable, but not the standard. You will have to have that verified by the vendor.
