Default Climate Control Light Replacement

So one of the lights in my climate control went out. It comes back on if I flick or knock on it but it drives me crazy. Where do I get a replacement light and how hard is it to replace? Thanks

Took the control in my Burb apart a couple years ago, one slider broke, bought a brand new control for $160.

Thanks man. I guess it can't be too hard to take the climate box apart. I have soldering stuff so I will give it a try.

Default I learned the hardway

It's very easy to take out the unit. I was taking apart the box and I broke one of the sliders. I soldered in new LED lights and they worked. The slider still kind of works, i have to wiggle it a little to get it moving.
I just bought a new unit off amazon.
If I could do it again I would do this:
hold the metal part of the slider with needle nose pliers. Pry the cap of the slider with a small flat head screwdriver, do this slowly.

Its the bezel-plastic-cap-thing on the slider the doesn't want to come off. Be VERY careful.

Be prepared to solder stuff up though. Good luck.

Make sure you heat sink well so you don't overheat the board, I converted mine to LED a couple years back. It's time consuming as the LED's need a resistor added in but looks good when done.
