Default Light Out On Climate Control

Anyone know to change out the bulb on the small LCD climate (temperature) control on the 1988 LS400? I would appreciate if someone could tell me how to take the thing apart to get to the bulb. Thanks.

its fairly easy to fix i will post pics tomorrow as soon as my stock of bulbs come in from Jim Walker. I will have a few hundred in stock since they work for so many applications and my whole family drives the LS. i go through about 15 a month. Let me know and i can either get you to Jim or i can through a few youre way

This is the housing for bulb, use small phillips turn counter clockwise and use flat head and bulb will come out. pull off green boot and slide green boot on new bulb . I recomend you do all bulbs at the same time so you wont have to do this in a month or so.
