        They're fiber optic. There's only one bulb on top of the back of the knob.

        The "fibers" are broken or dislocated.

              Really.

              There are only two bulbs in that entire panel.

              As far as fixing it...if the fiber pulled away from the assembly you may be able to re-insert it. If it's broken it's done. There's very little room to work in there without pulling the dash.

                So essentially... If I remove my HVAC, I can check to see if they're simply moved off the bulb..?

                If I simply reconnect them, it would fix the problem as ling as the fiber optic stems are unbroken?

                  The thing is, removing the HVAC panel requires pulling the control cables off of the adjuster levers, which can be done in the car. The hard part will be getting them back on, which I've never been able to do with the dash installed.

                  You may be able to pull the panel forward enough to see in there, but it's a very tight squeeze.
