LED lights for climate control panel

Hey guys - does anyone know the type of LED bulbs to replace the climate control panel bulbs? I think the bulbs are Sylvania 37 bulbs, but I can't find an LED substitution.

Has anyone done this? Are there colors available?

Thanks!

Not yet but I like where you’re going with this

Look for 194 bulbs. They are basically the same as 37s. Changing the color beyond blue will require removing the colored lens inside the dash. LED's only work one direction, so you may need to turn them around.

They don't dim well...you will need to put a resistor across to load them if you care.

These worked great where white was called for on my 78 like overall illumination. It made things a little bit bluer, because the original incandescent bulbs had a very warm hue.
These worked well where colors were needed.

I have no clue if it correlates to your year, but I just replaced my dash bulbs with LEDs (same as @jermil01 I believe) and my climate control light was the same as my dash cluster ('84). It's tucked up in there pretty good.
