Electronic climate control backlights..

Some of the buttons on my electronic climate control don't light up at night. Does anyone know if there are individual lights for each button that I can replace, or would I need a whole new unit?

Thanks

There are 6 individual lights along bottom row of buttons - lights plug into the back of this area. Plus 2 separate lights for fresh air vent lever on r/h side. The econ / auto buttons have own leds. If you pull unit out and rotate it so buttons face dash, you'll see the bulb holders. Easier to completely remove unit. Replace all the lights - saves having to pull unit out again later. Lights are 3mm 12v "wheat bulbs" from dealer Radio Shack (as used in model railways) - if you don't want to pay dealer prices. Or get from junkyard. I got mine from NZ version of Radio Shack & had to strip insulation off wires - total cost NZ$10.00.

EDIT: there are 4 lights along bottom row, not 6...
