It is most likely a bulb or 2. My take on it- take the whole display out. Replace all the bulbs- not just the ones burnt out or you will repeat this job 3 more times real soon. Also replace the bulb sockets ( you can buy the bulbs with sockets). Some say you can replace the bulbs from the front- it has never worked well for me. These are halogen bulbs- don't touch with your fingers. Good luck finding bulbs.

NAPA sells a replacement bulb, can't remember number but is cheaper than original.

Right on, every word. I did this last month. Good advice from Kize.
