Hi. Are you talking about the map lights in the mirror? If you are there are no replacements for these lights and you have to replace the whole mirror. These lights hardly ever burn out. I would check to see if your glove box. under-hood light and vanity mirror lights are working. They are on the same circuit with fuse 2 in the fuse panel under the passenger side floor. Check to see if its blown. Good luck. Dan

No I mean on the Driver Information Center panel, the buttons that cycle the digital display in the dash. the 'Gauges' and 'Trip' buttons do not light up at night with the rest of the dash. Im figuring they are built in LEDs and Im screwed.

alini, no they arent LEDs and you arent screwed. You will have to take the entire IPC out to get to them though, its just tedious. They use a neo wedge type holder that just screws in with a half turn of a small screwdriver. I replaced all of mine with neowedge LED buldbs from here http://autolumination.com/74.htm about halfway down the page you should see the LED and incandescent bulbs. These are a direct replacement as far as fit, though im not sure how close they will match the origional color. Let me know if you are interested in doing the entire LED conversion while you are in there and I can point you to some really good threadds that helped me out. good luck
