As far as I know the replacement buttons from climarepair does illuminate at night. How it is done I have no clue

""Climarepair replacement switches are illuminated just like the originals.""

I was told the same. Probably they produce the same button with a better quality paint.

As seen in other forum and posted by a climarepair customer:






Seems like they illuminate at night

did you place your order? how do you like the look and feel of the new buttons? would you recommend to others?

i'm tempted to purchase from climarepair but $130 is steep if it looks and/or feels cheap. the high res youtube video wasn't selling me.

Look and feel of the new ones is great

There is a better "real" ( ) high-res video on their web site:

Looking good!

I find important also to press the new buttons the way climarepair explains in the tutorial video. I used to press mine in the center "tabbed" area, they say is better to press in the upper or lower zone, so down to lower the temp/fan and up to raise. This prevents the problem to occur again.

Why don't they just sell decals for people where only the lettering is getting worn? More common.
Not those terrible stickers from AliExpress, but decals.
