Climate control on 5th gen GLE

My 00 Maxima's climate control's bulb went out and was wondering what kind of bulb I could get and my light that shine down at the shifter are out to. If anyone has those bulbs it would be great I've seen some people with LED's in the climate control that shine down on the shifter.

Just an FYI, I'm assuming that the 00 AC control panel is similar to the 02 so sorry if I'm wrong. But replacing the bulbs on my 02 was a major pain. I have the auto ac panel along with the 6 disc in dash bose radio. I had to remove the shift boot clips, then the lower console cover, then the upper vents (absolute major pain to do this but read up on the removal of the radio for some hints), and then you can get access to the frame that holds the radio and ac panel. on either side of the frame are the screws that hold the ac panel in place. you can work on the ac panel while its still attached but its veryt hard to do this (read on). after removing the panel you need to remove 4 retaining screws to get to the bulbs. there are 3 bulbs. the bulbs twist lock in place but its not trivial. i bought some new bulbs from Nissan and I had to use pliers (very carefully) to get them back in place. the bulbs are made almost entirely of plastic and have a slot for a X pattern screw driver. a regular screw driver would not lock them in place - the plastic backing starts to give so I needed to use pliers.

Last but not least, after I did all this I messed up my bose cd player - now I get the infamous CD ERROR F0. Haven't been able to fix it since. so for a $6 bulb I broke my $300 (pulled parts) radio.

I actually changed my entire system the only part about removing the Bose Head unit was the screws on the metal plates it was connected to but everything else was easy compared to other cars I've done. But thank you for the site on the bulbs, I just need to find out what bulbs ill need for them.

Hmm do you think the climate control's are the same from an 00 to an 02? I've been looking on http://www.superbrightleds.com/1157....FSMeDQodd2XJnQ for those bulbs I can't find them on there I'm been thinking about doing all the interior lights in LED's just wondering how hard you guys think it would be.
