Default Climate control backlight out

The wife's 04 Tahoe just had the backlight for one of the temp controls go out (lights up the red and blue slide area). Before I get into it, does anyone know what kind of bulbs they are? Kind of affraid they are soldered in like the instrument cluster is and hard to locate to purchase. I already have been through that.

I always just smack the red/blue label with my fingers. It comes back on... I'm avoiding tearing that thing apart.
