Oh yeah, there definitely is. Once you remove the automatic climate controls with the proper tools, there's a polarized bulb on the belly of the box. It's a weird one, it doesn't use any of the bulbs that you'd normally find on the instrument cluster.

Had to go the stealership. It cost $7.17 for that lame 1.2w bulb that I probably could have gotten from Autozone for a $1.50.

I don't think that bulb is sold at autozone. For your future reference you can buy them online at www.autohausaz.com

I just changed mine out using after market deck removal keys and had extra bulbs laying around. Very simple and stright forward easy fix!

The bulb I got from the dealership didn't fit snug into it's little plastic holder. I had to use a bit of bulb grease to get it work.

I'm guessing we can't change those bulbs into LED ones like u can for the cluster hu? I'd like to change my cluster bulbs to bright white LEDs but I want to change all of them like window switches and climate controls etc. not just cluster. Everything's gotta match

I know how you feel. I changed my pre-face cluster to orange LEDs, but now my "cockpit" is three different shades of orange ( my JVC head unit has a shade of orange back lighting ). Four if you also count the orange needles.
