Default interior lights help

so probably about 2 months ago the right (passenger) side heat temp indicator illumination light went out.. If you're wondering what I'm talking about, in between the blower speed dial and blower selector (defroster, feet, head and feet, etc..) there's two vertical dials for colder and warmer. When the outside lights turn on, the inside panel lights come on. The right side went out, now the left side, and I don't know where/what to buy to replace the bulbs.. Anyone got any suggestions?

i never change the light inside before, and have no idea where to get them either. the dealer i imagine. here i have someone who might be able to help you out. perry wintner is his name. he done a custom blue led lights to all my interior gauges, control buttons, and hvac panel. here is his web site:

off topic: i like the stripes on your hood. they are better than most i see. your stripes are wider that's what make them look good!

the same thing happened to me, however I lost the Passenger side and the 3 clumped buttons on the radio that say: Info | SeekType | Trac (i forgot)

If you find any information on this one let me know, I remember I asked my mechanic about it and they gave me a runaround answer on how it's too hard to do.

The heat control unit is sealed and non sevicable. it is fairly easy to replace. the dash cover comes off and the heat control unit has 2 or 4 screws and comes right out. $123 plus about $30 for ( handling ) on gmpartsdirect.com. or you could try a junk yard piece that might work for awhile. there should be good dash cover removal tips in the audio section.my 02 pass. side went out about 6 months ago andI am waiting for more to go out before replacing.

I highly recomend sending you units to bbengineer. the dash and heat control unit was $115.00. you can get white like stock or blue or red and I think he will do custom colors on request. the led's will last along time also.
