Climate Control Lighting

Anyone have any good instructions on how to remove the climate control unit on a 2K. The lights that illuminate the buttons have gone out and I am going to attempt to replace them.

I found some info on the removing the radio. Is the procedure the same?

I think I read that replacing these light bulbs are tricky. Any info on specifically replacing these bulbs?

Thanks.

I had the "procedure" done just 2 days ago by Jeff of MaximumTuning.net. You have to remove everything you see in the photo and the climate control and radio... You need 3 bulbs part# 27545-1W600. I got them from Dave B of Southpoint Nissan.

Thanks for the info.

Do you know what kind of dissassembly of the actual climate control unit I will have to perform to get to the bulbs?

Once you pull out the unit from the dashboard, I believe that you just have to remove 4 small screws from the back of the unit to expose the circuit board where the 3 small blue bulbs are screwed in.........

I checked out your website, did you succeed at the process? What led's do you have in your window switches?
