Default 2001-e320 wagon -climate control - backlighting

The backlighting on the climate control system has recently gone out. Looking for details on how to remove the unit from the dash and replace the bulb or bulbs

thank you

thanks - my concern was that this was going to be another $1500 dealer fix to replace the entire unit - i'll look around a bit in the area and come back if i need to

When I purchased my C280 I had the same thing with a buld going out. I had my local shop do it because it was under my free 30day warrenty when I bought the car from them. Dont go to the dealer. Either look for a DIY or use a independant shop.
