Ok question: are the lights in the cruse control buttons replaceable? If so what size are they. I did not find anything on AutoZone, O'Reilly or Napa's site about them. Any ides?

Mine never had lights to begin with.
 






The easiest way I've seen is to replace the entire left and right controls themselves. I saw them on Ebay. I dont think they are very exspensive. Mine finally both went out. I miss the green lights on them that match the dash. But, I just memorized the controls and I'm ok with that for now. I think there is a write up for how to change the bulbs on here somewhere. Looked like a PITA though. ..."Radioactive"...Is that a reference to Yelawolf's album?
 






Markaprice73, thanks for the response. I figured that it might be a PITA. as for the name Radio-Active it is a reference to amateur radio.
 






I believe they are replaceable, but the rubber for the buttons sometimes tears when you pull it off and so i would also recommend the whole button replacement. the whole button undoes with 2 screws and a power plug.
 






I didn't know they had them. I might look into replacing them now.
 






Just remembered...I saw them on Amazon. $70 something. OUCH It would be nice to have though
 






I've found most of the lights are replaceable. Typically they are just little flashlight bulbs kinda like a christmas tree light. You can find them cheap at Radio Shack. The problem is getting it apart to get to the bulb.
 






Mine seem to be melting. First the lights quit, then the black started peeling. They're yellow&waxy underneath, and now it's warming up in the afternoons...
