There are 7 lights inside the climate unit. Three light up the display where the temp and clock LED are, and four are the back-lights for the display buttons. When you turn on the headlights and turn the dimmer all the way up, can you see the back-lights for all the climate buttons that shine through the white portion of the buttons?
