Heater/AC backlight

My lights behind the AC and heater are out. I cant seem to find a fuse. Is there one or should I just tear into it and replace the bulb(s). I'd assume they are 194 bulbs.

Cool, thanks for the info. I just like to have everything working in my 14 year old vehicle.
After I do this there will not be one thing not working on my truck.

mines been out since June...

Maybe tomorrow since I'll finally have some time I'll go down to radio shack and look into LED's as I want a truer white lighting. though it could take some custom work to get a 3 VDC LED to work in a tiny space that a 12V bulb does. dont know how to fit in the resistor..
