2007 camry a/c light replacement

[igbeserk]

Hey I have a 2007 camry se. and basically when i bought it. the analog light on the dial that you move left and right. well for the first dial (one on the left) it had the light on it so in the dark i could see the position it was at. But the other two lights never came on. i'm guessing it's a bulb or something but does anyone know how to replace them? any help would be appreciated and i'm posting a pic at the bottom to show you what i mean. thank you.

pull a/c control unit out. goes out with audio unit. take it apart.
there is small light bulb in green "condom" (sorry) inside every knob.
it goes in little base connector.
got them at radio store. It was little brihter than stock, so I replaced all 3 of them.

good time for color mode!

hey man thanks i appreciate the feedback. when you say radio store do you mean radioshack? and would you happen to know like what type of little bulbs? i'd also have to find a tutorial on removing the radio/ac. guess i can wing it but i only liked doing that on my 05 lexus was old and had issues so didn't care. lots of lost screws and broken plastic from that thing lol.

yep, got them from radioshack.
i went there with bad bulb and they found me something.

to pull radio/hvac out: unscrew shift knob, pull up panel around shifter-on clips, be carefull (BCR).
remove two covers on left and right of under hvac storege compartment. remove 2 screws and pull out storage, disconnect AUX and lighter wires on back of it.
than pull out,horizontally, vent assembly above radio, on clips as well-BCR!

remove 2 bolts on top of radio/hvac and 2 on bottom.
pull out assembly, disconnect harnesses.

remove 2 metal brackets on each side of assembly and slide hvac unit to left? or right to disngage it from audio unit.

Thanks man I appreciate the step by step seems basically.like my.old.Lexus. but since its a newer car probably less broken plastic lol and easier to remove. I guess you can't remember the bulb because I only Want to open it once. Not open it check.It put it back buy the bulbs and open it again. But I guess I might have to do just that. But ill look some more Maybe somebody has a part number or something. Thanks: -)
