This one puzzled me two at first. Once you get past the main center peice, I think there maybe have been some screws. Regardless, the climate control's faceplate snaps off. You need to loosen the clips that "teeth" hold in place and then it snaps off, offering the ability to get to the two bulbs in there. These two are 2721's, but 74's will fit. These two illuminate the three dials.
The ones for the A/C, recirculate, and defrost button are not standard sized bulbs, and are actually attached at some kind of twist base, much like the ones in your speedometer cluster if you ever took those out. However, the bare leads from the bulbs are attached to this base, so it cant be removed and replaced with any aftermarket bulb that I know of.
