Default brake lamp bulb changing, climate control, power mirrors, saggy nets help!

Hi people,
I've been lurking around here for a while. This is the best forum i've found for support and general knowledge about these babies.
I recently got handed down a '94 sc400 from my parents and there are a few things that are bugging me about it. Small things that my parents didn't really care about so never bothered to get fixed. Maybe some of you guys can point me in the right direction?

1. My passenger side brake lamp is out. Anyone know where to find the bulb type? Also, do I get to the light bulb from inside the trunk?

2. The display on the AC is messed up. About one third of the right side is kind of dark and faded. Can this be fixed by changing the lights inside? Or is this a problem with the display piece itself?

3. My power mirrors don't move.

4. Is there anything to do about the extremely saggy netting on the backs of the chairs? It looks kinda ugly.

I used to drive an Acura Integra, and I didn't really care about taking apart my car so much, but now with the Lexus, I'm kind of nervous.

Thanks in advance for any help or advice you can provide,

Andy

btw... the car is awesome. Still running strong at 81k miles. I think I'll keep this baby for a while.

Just to give you a little help since you are new, one of our fellow member has done an awesome write up on getting his SC back to tip top shape... He talks about the netting on the back of the seats along with many other things...

Now before you go to the link listed below... Keep in mind this is a 93 SC400 with over 160k miles on it...

Hope this helps...
Shawn

Hey... kind of off the subject but for you admins,

How about making a sticky thread up top that states:
READ THIS THREAD FIRST BEFORE POSTING, NEWBS

and inside it, telling people to use the search and what not first. I only looked at the posting rules in the thread titled "Sexy pics with the SC and.... " after I had made my first new thread.
Just a suggestion.

Also, nobody's really answered how I can get to the brake lamps, and I did a search but didn't find anything useful for the sc.

Thanks,
Andy

The thread ususally says exactly that, "look here first.... etc.." but i can't keep Leon's fingers out of the cookie jar
