[s-cars] climate control bulbs

[haroldmccomas at comcast.net]

Teddy, 

When I ordered HVAC bulbs from SJM, I got two different sets, two of the ones you want: 4A0 919 040 C  (1.1W) and two of 893 949 040A (2 W). The 2 watt are for the outer bulbs (lights up the buttons). The 1.1W ones for behind the LCD display. The ones there that I took out from behind the LCD were 0.9 W ones(assuming they were factory). If I would have replaced just one, the difference between the two LCDs would have bothered me. I figured that while I was in there I might as well replace all 4.
