Subaru: Apparently dashboard lights woes common

Doubt you'll see a "recall" on this non-safety issue of a 5 year old
vehicle. Bulbs are replaceable if your a little handy with tools.

No recal but had to replace them in the heater/AC and in the switches for
the rear defrost and cruise control on my 95 lagacy SW.
Funny, if you call the dealer and ask for these bulbs, they all know exactly
what you need.........
Replacing the bulbs in the heater/ac unit is easy, getting the damn assembly
apart to do it is a PITA.
I had a link on how to do it. If you search google it will list it, I think
it was "Russ' little subie page".

under the defrost button be fixed. three months later and the recirc LED is
burnt out!

I bought a '98 Outback Wagon (Legacy) new, and the HVAC bulbs were out
within a year. In fact, I didn't even realize there *were* bulbs
behind those control buttons until I read about it on this NG. I took
the car to the dealer, and their mechanic told me the buttons were
*not* illuminated and there were no bulbs to replace. I didn't bother
with it. I traded the car back to the same dealership this past
summer--now it's their problem.
