Default LCD Heat/Air display difficulties

The green arrows below indicate what im talking about, because i don't really know the term for these two displays. In bright day light, the data on the displays are visiable but at night, there is light to show anything, would this problem be as simple as replacing a bulb? or is this going to get expensive?


Thanks,
Matt

I've heard of the little screens in the instrument cluster burning out before, and you have to replace them. Not sure in this situation though. I wouldn't think this is gonna be as simple as replacing a bulb, not sure though

Yoo ya you're going to have to replace the whole thing, the lcd's in the B5's are known to have issues. Mine is constantly flickering on and off so I just punch the part of the dash to the right of it and it turns back on most of the time.

Ya im having troubles with mine to, It went out for a while. Messed around with it a little and got it to come back on but now it reads in celsius? I remember a forum talking about this but I couldn't find it again. Any ideas? Also, when I turn up my heat all the way I get an annoying high pitch wizzing noise. Maybe somethins in the blower motor?
