Default Air Conditioning/Heating Dials

One of the lights behind my thermostat went out the other day. Does anyone know what kind of light I would need to get to replace it? Also, how would I go about taking everything apart to get to the light?

All you need is either a 74 or a 194 bulb...i'm not exactly sure which one since you have an 03, but they're both very cheap. Go to any auto parts store and ask for it, they'll know what your talking about. Yours should be pretty simple since you have an 03. Simply pop your radio bezel off and there will be 4 torx screws holding your HVAC control panel in place. Remove those 4 screws and pull the panel out. There are 2 bulb retainers in the back of the panel. Simply twist them out and remove them. The bulbs will pull straight out.

Thanks for your help! I didn't know it was that easy to get to the lights. However, now it comes on about every other time I turn on my car. Any ideas as to what could cause that? I can drive for hours with it working, turn the car off then back on, and the light will be out again.
