Climate Control - Lights Out

today i noticed that the climate control lights do not turn on at all, leaving me to have to turn on the interior lights whenever i needed to adjust the temp at night. i did a quick search of this forum for threads relating to lights going out and found that a burnt bulb is usually at fault. is this a safe assumption? anyone have instructions of how to pop out the climate control panel to access the bulbs and what bulbs i need?

im not quiet sure because i'm too lazy to check, but there may be keys available to make it accessable to pop out. The bulb is VERY easy to access once the climate control is out, but it'll cost about $15 from the dealer for the bulb.

what i've always found out with MB interior bulbs, no auto store carries them. I've gone to ask them at the parts counter and they're like, "oh, MB eh? yeah, gotta go back to the dealer for them, don't carry MB bulbs"

they even looked up the bulb number and searched the racks, nothing.

so i've always had to go back to the dealer. Once in a while, they'll just gimme the bulb and tell me to have a nice day. I guess it depends on the guy at the counter at MB :p
