light behind ac controls on 99 4runner

This is just kind of bugging me so..
when its dark out i can not see the entire dial for where you want the ac/heater to blow, (where you choose feet, head, both, defog etc)
I can see the left half of it and the rest of the ac controls but on the right side of the dial its just black and have to turn on my map lights so that i am able to put the dial where i need it.

Any help of what i need to do/how i can replace a light would be much appreciated..

Thanks,
Chuck

buy them at the dealer... I don't think anywhere else has them. They are pretty expensive for these little things.

depends on which kind of climate control face you have. look in the tech section and look for the stereo unit replacement writeup.

i have replaced one on my taco, it was a pain, you have to remove the dash cover, take the controls out and replace the bulb from behind, i had to take my control bax apart a little to get to the bulb, i was able to do it in about 35 minites but i know how to take that part of my truck apart pretty fast. the dealer wanted 100 to do it so i did it myself.

I have the same exact problem...everything is lit up fine except for the right portion of the right dial (air direction)

I'll replace the bulbs someday....

I have the same problem. My advice is just to memorize which position on the dial is which.

It is not that hard to take out the climate control and replace the bulb but nowhere near as easy as memorizing dial positions.
