Default 98 vanden plas climate control LCD back lighting

seems half of the temp screen is dark. is this a matter of changing a backlight bulb behind the unit? or do i have to search for another. while im asking this, the light behind the driver side seat heat switch is out. one more... are the window switches in the rear door backlit? are any of these a simple bulb swap ?

thanks

Yes, the lcd screen has 2 bulbs behind. All switches are lighted (save for steering wheel control) but with LED I believe

They're twist lock bulbs, not l.e.d's, so changing them isn't a solder job. They're not a standard fitting t5/t10 size, so the dealer is the place to get drop in replacements.
