Taking thee dic vette in to have the bulbs replaced in the DIC buttons (fuel, trip, reset, e/m) replaced. Has anyone done this and if so, what can I expect to pay?

They are neo-wedge lamps and not real easy to find the proper ones. The dealer will just replace the whole controllers.

Yup... it will be.

The bulb replacement can be done but it's a PITA. Take a look at this: http://www.spdkilz.com/techtipleddic.html

Last time I looked, that set of buttons was about $75 (for the whole unit, buttons and all, just snaps and plugs in), so ya, but not crazy.

No idea what the hourly charge would be to get it in there, may want to look into getting it and putting it in yourself.

If your good at soldering give it a go..
There is a guy I found that can do it. I believe he quoted me 450 for me to send him all my interior peices an he change the bulbs to LEDs. Two day turn around. Here is his name an number.
Dave
770-900-1673

I plan on sending him my stuff I just haven't got a chance to take apart my interior..
