The lamp for the heater control is in the upper part of the center dash bezel.

The only wires in the dash that I can think of for a lamp would be one for the cig lighter...

I'll see if I can get you a pic.

yes it twist out to remove, the bulb is in a socket holder that just twist out, i've changed my bulb before by removing the glovebox inside , and reaching through. no need to remove the screws.
the pic from willcox upper pic is the socket holder base, that is mounted with the screws. lower pic is of the aimer lens, directs the light to the controls.
