Default AC controls back lite

One of my burnt out and its bugs the crap out of me.

Has anyone here ever messed with those?

pretty simple, pop the radio bezel off, there will be a few 7mm black screws holding that and the hvac unit in, and on the back will be 3 tiny bulbs you twist to get out. replace bulb. I forget the appropriate part # but any parts store should have them

They use #194. You'll want to unclip the electrical harness behind the fan control switch so you can pull the panel out far enough to access the lamps.

Thanks for that info, are these bulbs also the same ones that are used in the gauge cluster?

No. Cluster uses #24 (5 total for gauge lighting). The turn signal indicators, high beam indicator and warning lamps are all #37.

I just went through all this a month or so ago when I swapped the gauge and hvac panel lighting to leds, so...
