The lights for the heater/ac control knobs work intermitently. I was wondering how i can go about getting to the bubls (if they even are bulbs) ? My car is an '03 forester xs , is this common with them ?
Thanks ,

Yeah, this happened to me the other day. I went down to forester to get new ones but they didn't have them in. I don't remember the price, but they were really expensive cause I didn't get them.
If these lights in your 2003 are like the ignition ring light in my 2003, they are incandescents with a colored sleeve over them. I've ordered LED replacements from V-LEDS, but I'm away from home now and won't get to see what they're like till I get back in a week or so. See the link at this post for more info.
I knew I saw someone here document this:
