This is a common problem with GM radios and since the HVAC headunits use similar bulbs, reason holds that they would have a similar problem. You can buy new bulbs from Radioshack, however they require you to disassemble the radio and HVAC headunit, desolder the old bulbs and solder in the new bulbs.

You're kidding right? If some of the lights work and some dont, that would be burnt out bulbs.
