Climate control buttons and LCD doesn't light up

I took out my 1999 E320 yesterday night and noticed that the back light on the climate control (LCD, buttons, etc) was not lighting up - it was completely dark. The radio lights up and the panel above the climate control unit with heated seats, etc. lights up. Anything I can do to fix this myself?

Thanks.

Get some radio hooks

from the dealer if they will sell them to you and pull the unit and replace the bulbs.
this guy has the keys also with instructions on how to use them.

Thanks for the reply. Do you know if the bulbs are easily accessible once the unit is removed? Or is there more dismantling I need to do. Rather than mess up the whole unit, I might just leave it as is.

CC is the same removal as the radio
