Likely blown neo-wedge bulbs. Get all 5 and replace them all at once.

^^^^
Not related to bulbs for sure.

On the 7th gens the coolant valve is on the firewall in engine bay make sure it is opening as it should when working the temp dial inside.
It has a blue cable easy to spot, center towards top of firewall.
