Default Help w/ HVAC led kit

purchased the led hvac kit from ledgauges.com.
It says the 3 prebent 5mm LEDs are for the HVAC, but if there are only two light sockets where does the 3rd LED go?! I've tried calling Nathan (company owner) & emailing numerous times but he has yet to reply.

the 2 prebent 3mm are for the door correct? or could they be used for the HVAC, since I only saw 2 sockets? How many LEDs are needed to do the door? thanks

Anybody with knowledge on this please help ASAP!!

The HVAC uses 2 LED's and the doors also use 2 LED's.

with the kit, they send "3 prebent 5mm leds" for HVAC, and "2 prebent 3mm leds" for door. When I installed it, I saw the HVAC needed 2, and just grabbed the package w/ the 2 3mm ones and installed them. so I was wondering should I just install the 5mm's in the doors and have one extra? or take it apart, put the 5mm's in the HVAC and still have one 5mm left over?

Apparently it's impossible to get a hold of Nathan. I tried calling him before and order went out and sending a PM. No luck.

Yes, there are only 2 LEDs for the HVAC. Some people use it for the Headlight switch because a 5mm LED isn't too bright in there in some cases

Its a spare, some people use it for the headlight switch instead.

PS: sorry I have been out of town, I replied to your email this morning but my PM's arent working and I cannot reply to any of them tonight.

Send me an email if you can't get me on here, I check that daily.
