The lights for my climate control (06 Santy GLS, manual a/c) are extremely dim...is there any way to replace the LED's behind the panel to make it more visible? Also, this may be the wrong place to ask this (my apologies if it is), but has anybody replaced the LED's behind the gauge cluster (Speedo, tach, etc) for the '05-'06 Santy? I found instructions for the '01-'04, but the '05 cluster is different... Thanks for the help!

Is your climate control bright on one side and dim on the other? If so, one of the bulbs has blown. Despite the difference in appearance between the '01-'04 and the '05-'06 cluster, they use the same bulbs and can be swapped out with LEDs in the same fashion. Santa Fe -- It doesn't get any better than this! "Like people, every car possesses a unique character, with its own DNA, talents, and idiosyncrasies. Push it too hard and it'll turn on you, as a person would. If it's worth anything, it gets more interesting the more you get to know it."
