Default How many forum members does it take to change a lightbulb?

Recently I noticed the lightbulbs for the center diff lock button, as well as the passenger side heated seat dial have burned out.

Can anyone tell me how to access these lights? Pull the center console?

Thanks in advance!

Also, any idea on the bulb type/number/size?

That's really weird, how much do you need to use your CDL to burn out the bulb in the switch?!?

That's all I got, haven't had that part of the interior apart yet, sorry.

A more specific search yielded this thread with attached PDF, which shows the job.

Thanks club lexus!

As to the CDL function, I don't use it much really, but I think it's always on when the lights are on, right? Anyway, the truck sat for 2 years prior to my acquisition, I think a lot of 'sit time' has negatively effected the lights. I have replaced almost all exterior lights now.

I have the exact same lights out, the CDL and the passenger heater dial. the drivers heater dial is just fine.
I have so far been trying to look the other way trying to ignore it lol.

Looks to be a simple procedure to access the switches, not sure about the bulbs yet.....
