bulbs for ventilation controls. Options

[Olympic 914]

Going to be ordering some LEDs for the dash and need to know how many bulbs are used behind the ventilation controls. I see a bulb chart from Jeff that shows 4 bulbs are used there. Type 2721

I will be ordering Blue for the cold air and Red for the warm but are there other bulbs just to backlight the control? Guess I would order White for those.

and can you access the holders without removing the control unit from the dash?

I haven't climbed under the dash yet to check.

There are four unless earlier cars had less. I’ve never looked at this particular area on early cars. But one bulb at each corner of the control panel. I believe three are on the same strand of wires. The fourth, the one for the fan, is on its own wiring section and is lit whenever the car is on.

I’d have to look at a schematic to be sure but that’s the way I remember it...
