Default Hvac lighting question
I found this control head at the junk yard in very good shape, much better then the one i have now. but, unlike the one i have now, it has this extra fiberoptic light... anyone know where it goes?

How many do you have there total? I think there is one for each slider and one for the fan switch.

Brad can you expand a bit, pelase. My fibre optics are all gone and so I would love to replace with leds. I could not find a thread for this update (led bulb/wires etc?

Please and thank you.
