Dash lights out in heater/A/C panel

How hard is it to change out the bulbs that backlight the HVAC controls? How in the heck do you take the panel off to access them? Any help appreciated...

Mine went out too after installing an aftermarket radio. Let me know if you find a way to replace the bulbs.

The bulbs are easily replaced, just stick a small screwdriver in there, a slight spin and the fall out. The problem I see is finding a bulb to go back in there.

Or is that the issue you are having, in which case,

take the ac panel out, the white back just snaps in... take that off and the bulbs are right there.. if i believe there are a few screws as well. replacing them are easy, just spin them with a small screwdriver and they fall out. they are cheap too, like $1.37 at the dealer or maybe it was less than that. i had 2 of mine go out and replaced them, then i had tor eplace the other 2 since they were way brighter. they are easy to replace...

OK, how do you take the A/C panel out? Does it just snap in there?
