Climate Control Bulb

[tpjc1018]

How do I replace the bulbs in the climate control in '02 QX4. I have done this on a Lincoln some years back. Anyone have a step by step instruction. I believe I need to remove the vents/clock first. Thanks

Yes, the center vents and then center bezel. See attached diagram. Once the parts are removed, you will be able to access the climate control unit, remove the screws and replaced the bulbs on the back of the unit.

Get a rag and pry on them becareful not to damge the dash pad!! I would use a trim tool

Do I pry from the inside of the vent or the ouside?

You have to insert the flat screw driver between the dash and the vent (just the tip of the screw driver), use a rag around the screw driver to avoid damaging the dash, then pry out the vent.

I am looking to replace the white lights behind the Defrost/Rear Defrost. Not the Orange light that engages when the Defrost is engaged. Are the white lights an easy swap? I have a 2002 Qx4. Also, I do not need to change the Orange light. Just the white ones that illuminate Front & Rear Defrost. Is
