Climate control backlight out
I noticed last night that the backlight behind the climate control dials is out in my vehicle. It's the only thing on the dash that is not working, so it's definitely an isolated problem. Is that a single bulb that needs replacing? Possibly just a fuse for that one area? More trouble than it's worth and just live with it? I'm good, in any case, but if it is a relatively easy fix I'll pull it apart and take care of it. I have a laundry list of minor fixes that need done, so I'll just add this to it, as well...

You can replace the individual bulbs but most people replace with led so they do not burn out again. They are PnP and not soldered to the board so they are easy.

Only downside is from the dealer the bulbs are $5 each. Definitely better off buying LED's.

Can I just grab LED's from the local parts place? Any certain ones?
