Default Center console light bulbs.

Hi,
I have recently changed some blown bulbs in the climate control panel. I ordered following bulbs with Part No:

LNC5180AA - Clock bulb (with blue cap)
JLM20308 (blue cap for the climate control display)
LNA5180DA (blue cap) for the rest

Clock bulb nice and bright. For the climate control temp display only one of the climate control bulbs was blown, so I changed only that. Now I see that there is a big difference in brightness level on the new bulb compared to the old. The old one is much brighter. Not checking before reinstall of wood trim ++, I had to do it once more to change also the other bulb to get symmetry (important ;-).

Now the temp display is less bright than the stereo and it annoys the hell out of me. Does anybody know if these lamps have different watts to get a bit brighter? alternatively, any other bulbs that may fit?

Thank you very much in advance.

I think I used JLM11965 for the climate control LCD. Matches perfectly with the stereo. It's also a good idea to change both LCD bulbs at the same time.

Thanks Hnatten,

I will order some and try them out. JLM20308 are far to dull.
