Dealers sell the bulbs, if you know how to take off the trim to replace the radio the CC is easy as cake.

All you have to do is pull the CC and find the bulbs, it is really easy and not much to explain. I would change them all at once though, I think there is four in there.


Before someone chimes in with "just change to LED's", I dont like how bright they are and it is way more work than what I want to do when you can get all four direct replacements for under $20.

Sometimes whenever you mess with the headunits n climate controll, they decide to get loose, and i guess they dont make a good connection not light up, try pushing on the peice and it should light up, if not your bulbs are burnt.

IF you do get the part number, I'd love if u shared this info with me too. auto climate control lights are off too. If I give it a good knock, they will come on but only on one side.

Yeah, for the digital climate control, there are like 4 bulbs in total. The dealer should have them. I bought some a couple of years ago. Sorry, I don't know the part number off hand. I'll try to look up my past receipts. When you go to the dealer, just find someone who knows how to look up part numbers. They always have people in there that don't know how to break down parts in schematics and search more thoroughly.

FELLAS, YOUR BULBS MAY NOT BE OUT AT ALL.

The bulbs have what's called a 'bayonet-style' mounting base. It simply scrwes in. 99% of the time, the bulb has not gone out, the base has simply been knocked loose. You can save yourself ALOT of time and trouble by simply testing the fit!

Three.

Mine were burnt out... I tried that first and nothing changed, so I put in new ones and the problem was fixed. Saying 99% of the time they are just loose is a bit of an exaggeration.
