    Does anyone have the info on replacing the lights for the Heater / AC controls? It started with the right dial being out, now all 3 dials are out.

    Thanks

    Let's start here... Have you checked your fuses?

    I have honestly never taken one of those apart... I want to say that they are probably the same surface mount PLCC-2 LEDs though. I unfortunately don't have a solid answer though.

    Had this problem on a 1st gen. Fuses were good so I popped off the dials, then the plastic face trim, found a small bulb and brought it into O'Reilly's. They had a replacement and it worked for a couple days and burnt out again. Maybe you'll have better luck.

    The AC panel pops out on clips. Behind it you will see 2 round lamp holders that you can remove with a flat blade screwdriver. I'm looking for replacement bulbs now.

    Since the OP has an 08 I answered for him, however you are right to provide the more complete answer. Thanks.

    Do you have the bulb info?

    I know you answered to him correctly. All I was replying to was to Colton...

    Yea you can get these:

    The 4mm bulb...white is fine because the Orange you see is a film that is between the silver cover and the actual plastic of the ac unit

    Turns out I had to remove the Heater AC panel, and the bulbs can be accessed without taking the cluster apart.

    Thanks for the bulb info.
