Light Behind HVAC Controls?

I don't have any light coming through my heater controls at night. I'm assuming there's a light bulb or two behind there?

I just don't want to take it out and find there is no bulb, so I thought I'd ask first...

Yup, there is a bulb in there. Same as the ones in the gauge cluster and the shifter.

Like Ken said. Its easy to fix BTW. The bulb is on the right side.
Funny thing is, I replaced this same bulb, but it is still really dim. I dont know, I'll try it again some day.

there is a '194' bulb tat lights up the hvac controls.. take out the controls (4 screws? i believe), on the back upper right side from the front, upper left if lookin at the back, there is a bulb, like the ones in the gauge cluster.. 1/4 turn and it pulls out.. takes about 10 mins to do.. last time i checked, pack of 2 '194' bulbs was about $2 at most parts stores, well near where i live anyways..

Try McEwen's high intensity bulbs. Though the HCAC controls will still be somewhat dim, the lighting will be better.
