well, I didn't bring any of the heli's to work with me tonight. Don't have anything to do to them. How often can I say that lmao. So, in my boredom, I started tearing the dash apart in my truck. I figured why not lmao.
When we purchased this truck, we did so knowing that most of the lights on the dash (not the instrument panel) were burnt out or something else was wrong. This give us a bit of a better deal. Replacing them takes time, but it's pretty cheap if you know where to get the lights, and I do hehe.
So the first thing that I took out was the head light switch. NONE of the lights in this thing work. Did an ohm test, and sure enough, blown bulbs. Next I take out the box with my bed light and fog light switches. Again, all burnt out except the amber light for the fog lights. Now the big one, the radio. This took some time but I got it apart. Some of the lights are good, some bad, but none are working. I'm thinking they may have been run in series. No matter, I will just replace all fo them and get that blue crap off of the bulbs.
Here is a picture of the face of my radio removed.
So, I ordered 25 new lights for this truck. It's going to take some time to solder them all in, but shouldn't be too bad. Best of all, I will be able to see the switches that I'm trying to turn on and such lmao.
Here are the before pictures of my dash. As stated, the instrument panel is fine, it's the radio, the temp indicator on my hvac controls, and on teh left where the head light switch is located that is burnt out. Now we wait for UPS to deliver what has to be the lightest shipment I have ever ordered lmao. These bulbs are
tiny...
