Default Climate control bulbs?

The light behind my AUTO and OFF buttons on my climate control no longer light up, how do I go about replacing the bulbs?

You should invest in some nice white bulbs when you manage to figure how to replace the bulbs Bomsquad

You have to buy them at the lexus dealer, they're kinda special. they are cheap though.

You will have to open up the climate control to replace the bulbs too, its easy.

You will have to remove the whole radio/climate control, they are bolted together.

When you separate the radio from the climate controls, if I could remember, there are 4 screws that holds the back panel in. Remove them and spit it open, then you'll have full access to the light bulbs.

I hope this helps, its quite easy. Take your time though.

Is it just as easy to fix the radio bulbs?
