greetings, trying to find a write-up on how to either take out navi screen or to replace climate control lights. my lights are out on driverside "auto, temp up/down buttons" any help cant find anything on here and havent tried taking dash about yet. thanks for any help.

 

IIRC, those lights are built into the circuit board. You'll need to be comfortable with desoldering a circuit board. Here's a link with pictures showing the switch panels removed:

Look in the Service Department (AKA the 3G Garage) for a link on removing the center console components. There are several threads and one even has videos:
