Steering Wheel Control Lights

[thearch]

I am new to this forum and have not seen any answers to my question yet so here it goes. I have some burned out steering wheel control lights and want to replace them myself. I can only find that they need replaced as a unit per spoke on the steering wheel. My question is how do I do this myself and not damage anything or is it just something that a dealership can do for cheap.

That's a good question. I am having the same problem so hopefully someone will chime in and help us both.

you gently pry them out with a small flat screw driver and they pop out
i'm going to post a link to another forum that this procedure has been already done..it will help you BOTh on replacing the lights

Thanks for that link....This will definitely come in handy if one of my lights go out again. Luckily I was covered under warranty the first time one of my lights went out.

Wouldn't it be better just to purchase another light housing and just plug it back in instead of trying to find some new LED's?

there pretty expensive on what i heard ..thats why people were resorting to "repairing them "

Thanks for the link it looks easy to me. Does anyone have a price that they paid for these just wondering if it is worth it or just leave it burned out.
