Recently the backlight burned out for the "Option" button to the right of the steering wheel. (1) What type of bulb would I need to replace it with and (2) what's the best way to get behind the button to replace it?

lol....I have the same issue on the same button....it is the only thing on the car now that is not perfect.
It bugs me, but I am content to leave it alone if it envolves tearing apart the cluster or some other operation of that magnitude.
The Forum posts I've read on the subject indicate that it's easier to just replace the switch module.
Try searching, there have been some with soldering skills that have managed to replace these small lights.
Correct. The bulbs aren't designed for individual replacement. They're very small and soldered in place. Your best bet is to buy a new button pod assembly and replace the entire unit. Doing so is pretty simple - you just need to remove the button trim assembly. Here's a link, compliments of forum buddy Paul Pearson (talon90):
