Exclamation AC/Controls - Light out! Help!

Hey guys, I have been driving around for over 6 months now without a "lit up" AC unit on my 01 SS. Just realized it's been out lol and I can't see anything at night as far as heat/ac adjustments go etc..

What the hell type of bulb is this? Im pretty sure it's not a fuse cause I already checked twice. Im guessing I just have to pull the entire AC unit out and replace a bulb from behind?

Any experience with this or suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Here ya go... They were little tiny bulbs that were hidden behind the panel when you pull it out. I turned them sideways and they popped right out. They were connected to a harness that I thought was bad, but after taking the bulbs out (had to actually break them and pull them with a plyer) I replaced them and it's working perfect now. Advanced Auto carried the bulbs..


BTW the ***** didn't have to come off.. I realized that after I had the whole thing apart.
