also the stock radio knob lights, my power volume light is burnt out.
not trying to hijack the thread, just thought it was along the same thing you were asking, no sense in starting a new thread.

Im not sure about the steering wheel controls. (kinda wondering that myself. My volume button is really worn)

With the dash, 4x4 control, and headlights. If you take the surround off the panels are pretty easy to get to. With a small screw driver you remove most of the housing for the components to get to the lights. If you try the lights are a dealer only item. Advanced/ NAPA etc wont carry them

I guess we are the only two with burnt out lights in the steering wheel.

I changed both of the top lights in my wheel. it isn't too bad. just get a couple of one inch wide putty knifes or scrapers and work the switch assy out. there is a small wire harness that clips to the switch. the right one had enough slack in the harness to snap it into the switch before I reinstalled into the wheel. The left however I wraped some wire (.032") around the harenessso I could hold it in place (not enough slack). as soon as the harness snapped in I removed the wire and pushed the switch back in. Hope this helps.
