Okay I've had this happen before on my last truck. Some of the lightbulbs on the a/c controls have gone out and I've replaced them before but I could only find them out of a junkyard vehicle lol. Tell me what these bulbs are and where can I find them?? Also do they offer different colors for those and the dash bulbs as well??

You can get the bulbs and bases on Rock Auto. Mine as well upgrade to LEDs while you're at it... I used LED stripes in mine that I wired up and taped into the dimmer fuse

You can change them out in any dash. Those light stripes are flexible, thin, and only 8mm wide.You can change out the bulbs only if you want with new bases. I'm not sure what bulb types are in th 01+ interiors.

Rock Auto has the stock replacement bulbs. The autostores should have them as well. I bought a 5 meter roll of LED strip lights on ebay for $30. You can cut them to any lenght and just wire up with 18/22 gauge wire.
