Is it just the air-con light, or your heater controls too?

If it's the heater controls, on my website under the Tips & Tricks section is how to fix it.

Also to get too the air-con light, follow the info on my page.
Once that panel is off where the heater controls are, you can pop out the air-con switch to get too the bulb.

thanks corey. one question.about..
pull off the heater knobs and take a tool, even a paper clip will work. You stick it in behind the black plastic panel that normally lights up and gently pull on the sides and it will pop off
do i stick it in where the knobs would normally slide back and forth?

That's a big 10-4.

It would be better to work from each side instead of the middle of the panel.
That way it won't flex as much, and posibly crack it.

I keep that same paper clip in the ash tray for just such an emergency if I need to pull it again for some reason.

Doink yes start on the far side closest the passenger seat. It will be a PITA for sure especially if it's never been off before. There are several places that hold it on but if you can that one side going your golden. Take is slow and dont' break anything...
