    Stupid me, when I took the HVAC control unit apart I accidentally broke the light bulb for the stop button. I first called Danial at Ricambi and he didn't have them. He told me that since I has sending the knobs to Robbie at Stickynomore, he might be able to help me. Unfortunately he didn't have one but he suggested Radio Shack, no luck, they told me to try a hardware store, zippo there also. Finally tried Ferrari of Central NJ. They told me there's no listing for the bulbs and I would have to buy the whole unit, yeah right. If anyone knows were I could get them, or have any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

    Try to take a close-up picture to see if we can identify what type of bulb it is. Radio shack is a super long shot these days, but many many bulbs are available on line from sources like www.mouser.com or www.digikey.com etc.

    Sorry for your troubles. It would be good to find out the specs on the bulb, voltage, watt ect., that might make it easier to find.

    By the way, what happened to you is exactly the reason I used Robbie to refinish my parts. I can be a klutz at the most inopportune times. ;)

    I think there was a thread here somewhere showing how to retrofit LED bulbs to replace incandescent ones. Sorry, no time to look right now, but you may try a search.

    I think I might have found them on bulbs .com in the search put in 2182D they have listed as 1.12 watt 14 volts 0.08amp T-1 3/4. I'll have to go to the shop where my car is to get the bulb out of the glove box. But if anyone knows if this is the correct wattage and volts it would be a big help.
