There are many lights in an RL, even in a door. Can you be a bit more specific about which lights went out?

Have you checked the fuses?

Those are wedge bulbs in the driver's window controller, you can find the part on various parts websites.

I would check if you are getting any voltage across the terminals though first.

Yeah, I ordered the bulbs from the dealer, the buttons are still functioning and windows go up and down, does that mean the bulbs should light one once I replace them?

A voltmeter will answer that. Well, and when the new bulbs arrive, replacing them will tell you.

It is possible that the bulbs were just hanging on and that jostling the unit blew the rest out (I believe there are only 3 in there). See the LED dash light thread, some people had unrelated but close bulbs blow.
