there has been an article about DYI fix for this problem but i beleive it is lost. one of the members has it saved locally but i forgot who:(
sorry.
migirdech, the post that you showed is for the lights in the dashboard, not the lights in the climate control or audio head unit. they have tiny LEDs, not bulbs and they are pretty hard to replace yourself. i got 2 of em burned myself on one of the buttons but i dont bother changing them.
