Lights---out!!

Ok I need some help.
1st---I recently noticed that my display light went out on the TEMP and AC counsel above the radio. Sometimes it comes on, but its out most time.
Any idea what it might be?? Everything works fine, AC, temp controls, fan speed etc.

2nd---Im trying to find the rear window spoiler, and cant find it no where?? any ideas where I can look.
Thanx

Like 4xfore stated, its a very simple DIY. Most dealers don't sell the tools, but you can get them on ebay very easily. They are the porsche/MB radio tools and they look like tiny knives with no handles and a few cut outs.

Insert these into the horizontal slots in the "Auto" buttons, push in until you hear the click, and then pull from the rings on the tools. The unit comes out easily. Then you look at the bottom for a little white plug, unscrew that, and replace the bulb, reinstall, and before you push the unit back into the dash, remove the tools. Piece of cake.


As for the rear window spoiler, please don't do this. It looks cheesy and out of place and will only ruin the clean lines of the car.

Anyone know how much the AC bulb goes for? And is there an led replacement?
