Default red interior lights going out

If you have an extended warranty, you should be covered. What they'll do is replace it out with a new unit.

If you don't, perform a search and you'll find some info on where to get the LEDs at. I know you can get them from Radio Shack. I just don't know the part number off the top of my head.

Yea i had the same problem, i got some LED's at radio shack too i don't remember the part number the guy at the store just told me what i needed. It's kinda a pain to change them, but if it bothers you the way it bothered me its worth it

Crack it open and change the LEDs. Some guy on the other site, redone DICs, as well. Theonly problem would be the radio.

As long as you have the time, patience, and somewhat knowledge, you can change all the lights, I'd imagine.
