I have a similar problem regarding the lighting.
After seeing that picture, I noticed that the climate control dials all are lit. The parts that do not light on my climate control are the fan speed adjuster, fan direction adjuster, along with the driver and passenger temperature adjuster. I was wondering if the same applies for me. I have an aftermarket radio so removal takes a whole 2 seconds. So I just remove radio and then remove climate control? Any specific directions? Thanks
