all lights up but the heat part on the hot/cold selector does not is this normal for the pumas or do I possibly have a bulb out behind the dash?

Highly likely that you have a bulb out. There are many bulbs, together with fibre-optic pipes lighting that lot up, and they are the very small capless bulbs famous for their unreliability. They are also extremely fiddly to replace.

If you go LED like I have make sure it’s the multi directional SMD chip type and not a dome style LED as these are too directional.

They’ll last wayyyyyy longer than the standard light bulbs. Diesels Lives Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️

Does your center panel now look more white than green? Just curious. I tried green domed ones and as custom90steve said, too directional and wasn't happy with them so I replaced with the proper bulbs for now.

If these are OK, I'll probably consider a set plus a few spares for my truck.

Can you post photos of them activated in the dark?

Thanks, custom90steve! Thumbs Up

Will place an order as soon as I get some bigger items sorted. I just replaced with bulbs for now so still good.

👍🏻 There are a few reflections there as my dash is gloss black right now but they work well and look a pretty even light spread compared to the directional LED’s.

To be honest I’d rather have a touch of uneven light spread than the unreliable bulbs, it’s such a pain if you have one go.
And they aren’t that reliable. I even had the one in the clock go recently, that was a pain in its self and sadly there isn’t an LED replacement for that as it doesn’t work for that. Thumbs Up Diesels Lives Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️

My fan speed has gone dark - if I'm going to the effort to open it up I'm thinking I might as well replace others with the LEDs whilst there (so they match)... Anyone know how many of these I would need?
