95 Camry - some lights out

My Camry dashlights on the temperature selection dial, fan control and airflow direction knob are all out. Everything else is fine. Are these wired in series or someone got some suggestions?

I think they are all lit off the one buld, and the light is passed around with plastic lenses.

Same here. May not be what you want to hear, but I just learned to operate those controls by touch, without looking at them. If you notice, the knobs are different sizes, so you can differentiate without taking your eyes off the road. Then all you need to learn is the order of functions on the directional airflow knob, but I rarely change those. Air temperature and fan speed are fairly intuitive, so one doesn't really need night illumination. Just my $.02, but keeps me from taking the dash apart, for something I don't really need.

Lets just hope someone comes up with the solution! RD

Pull those knobs, remove that section of dash and replace the bulb.

Remove the "U" shaped radio surround by prying on the lower corners. Remove the lower screws holding the dash, and those above the speedometer.

So they are individual bulbs then? A friend thought they might be one bulb fed by some fibre-optics.
