auto climate control backlight
I have the automatic climate control and at night the backlight is so dim that I can barely read it, so my question is, is there a actual light bulb in there or is it like that indiglo stuff on watches and I have to replace the whole unit?

I had to replace mine.
Two bulbs behind there, one on the left and one on the right. My screen was dim because one of them had burned out. I replaced them both since I was cracking it open anyway.
WHATEVER you do.. take the bulb out first. THEN take it AND your VIN to the dealer. It took me 3 tries for them finally order the right bulbs
It's an easy job really. If I were you though (and this is what I did), I would take every little crappy bulb out from behind everything you have to remove and get them all now while you are doing it anyway. (even the one under the shifter letters)
Good luck.

My sentiments exactly, I want to replace everything with red eventually. My dads 01 Tacoma has all red stock and it looks like a stealth fighter cockpit.
