Rep Power: 0 Replacing AC button bulbs
The dash lighting bulbs (not the on/off LED's) that light up my AC and air recirculate buttons are burned out. Do I have to remove the console to get that radio/HVAC panel out? I'm guessing there are screws that will be uncovered after removing the console?
Does anyone have any other tips to remove it without breaking anything?

pretty much yeah. they come with the bulb and the screw-on base. its only $1-2 each tho and worth it unless you wanna fiddle with looking for similar bulbs at the auto store and installing them to the old base. might be different brightness tho or sizes. and prolly just as expensive. the bottom three buttons have two bulbs total, the ones with long white base. the side dials also have two bulbs, with short grey base. if i were you, just replace all 4 bulbs so you wont have to take it apart again when the others burn. chances are they wont last much longer.

Re: Replacing AC button bulbs
I have 5 new bulbs ready to go the next time the unit comes out (my recirc & ac bulb is out as well)
The bulb for the recirc/ac should be the 79609-S5A-003 it has the tall white socket.
If anyone need the hazard switch bulb # it is 35871-S3N-901
They will cost you $3-$4 each.

I don't understand how there are 2 bulbs for the 3 bottom buttons (recirc/AC/defog), unless there's a bulb halfway in between each of the 3, but if that were the case, how is it that I have 2 buttons completely dark and 1 fully lit?
What was 39397-SA5-003 for that you listed earlier, Craig?
Yeah, dealer bulbs are never "only $1-2 each".

I'm assuming the recirc and defog share one bulb since they're the same color with the AC having it's own bulb. Anyone know if that's the correct assumption?
