Default Steering Wheel Radio Controls

How hard is it to replace the lightbulbs behind the controls? Both sides burnt out, and it's driving my wife nuts. If anyone can help, please!

It's probably alot easier just to replace the entire switches. You can find them at a junkyard probably for around $30 for the pair.
I've not done this myself, but this is what I hear about replacing them...
They come out just with a little convincing from a screwdriver, then there's a little connector to loosen to take them out.

He speaks the truth. If you can find one in the junk yard go for it, otherwise their like 65 bucks from gmpartsdirect.com. The dealership charges too much to consider. If you take it apart and are good at soldering, you can replace the tiny LED, but thats a big pain.
