Lights behind heater control

Hi, I'm new here so hello everyone. I recently bought a 2010 Tacoma Sport with only 27k miles on it. Am still getting used to it but so far I love the truck. I noticed the other morning on my way to work the fan speed and temperature control knobs have backlights but the heater/defrost/ac select knob does not. I cannot remember if it was lit when I bought the truck about a month ago or not but am assuming it was. My question is....how do I get access to the bulb to change it assuming it is a blown bulb?
 
Pretty sure the knobs come off, then pry the bottom up first.... disconnect hazard/clock harness, then i THINK u shoukd have access to the bulbs.
Its been a couple yrs.
 
I popped the knobs off and got the panel off but don't see any bulbs. Just two wiring connections. Not sure where to go from here.
 
I changed the bulb but it still does not light up. Looks like a trip to the service dept. is in the works.
 
I happed to notice the other night the light behind the right knob is very dim and the other two are perfectly bright. I'll have to do some research on this deal.
 
I have the same problem as mentioned in the above video. Will do a bulb "change-out" once the weather warms up.
 
I did a change out on the bulbs but to no avail. Bulbs are expensive. I did as the dealer suggested and swapped the working bulb with the one not working and there was no change. Not sure what my next move will be.
 
I ordered these...
