    Scroll down almost exactly halfway and search for part number 79674-S3N-941.
    Order the Clear Type-B (T4) for $1.49 each

    I was not happy with LEDs... those two lamps are the only non-LED on the dash.
    Pop the AC controls out and at the top rear of the housing you'll see two gray buttons that are the bases for the two lights.

    mine was out when i bought my truck. if i remember right the entire piece just pops right out. the piece that the three knobs are attatched to. . . mine is black. i used a pocket knife.

    i believe that if you pop out the little black plastic pieces under your 2 inside-most air-vents (one surrounds airbag selector, the other surrounds 4wd dial) it will make removing that air-control assembly even easier. for some reason that is popping up in my head but its completely unessesary. maybe even completely wrong lol

    anyway, got my bulb at dealer for like 5 bucks. they just go in/out of the circuit board with a 1/4 turn. cake and pie

    Ya, if you pop the covers under the vents out (easier when your nails need trimming), you can reach in with your fingers and push out on the two top locking pins and avoid risking damage to the dash from the "prying device"
