Green LED on the dash? Help!

One of the green led lights went out, the left side, so I pulled it out and went to advanced auto. They don't carry them. What are my options beside going to the dealer?

Thanks.

It's encased in what looks like a proprietary casing?

Do you mean the ones for the accent lighting (i.e. on the HVAC, etc.)? Either way, just find any electronics shop and replace the LED. You could even pull a good one out of an old keyboard from a thrift shop. Also, could you show pics of how you pulled them out? My wife and I were thinking of replacing them with red ones (to match the paint).

Yes, the ones that light up the HVAC control knobs.

Thanks Slaander. I ended up just getting a complete HVAC control panel from ebay. $60 shipped off an 06. My clock was dead (was going to send it to dr. clock for $40 to fix), my lower drawer door was busted, and had a dead green led light. So I killed 3 birds with one stone.
