Default Interior Lights-new owner-need help

Hey gents I'm a new owner of a c5z just bought it saturday morning. Few issues on the interior is the lighting... I have used the search button but just not having luck or I'm just special and can't find the right threads. But the interior temp display is damn near out. Can only see it at night and just barely even then, also on the dash the #3 trip and #4 options buttons are out. Any threads on how to replace these bulbs? And or swapping out to leds (if there not already) they are just driving me crazy already! Thanks for the help and mybad in advance if I'm beating a dead horse

Did you check the dimmer switch to make sure it was turned all the way up?

I just fixed mine this weekend using that thread as a reference. Much easier than I had anticipated. Good luck

Awesome thanks gents! That looks much easier than I had anticipated and yes I have checked the dimmer switch. I will get in there and start soldering those puppies back to health. So this would also effect the #3 and #4 button lights as well? Because these are totally out even at night. (I assume that solder has just lost all connectivity for those 2?)
