Console Display - Some lights do not light up, why?

Please see the following image I took of the problem:

At night, when the lights in the interior are on, only certain ones light up. It's the same ones are out. Also, the driver's side seat heater isn't working, but the passenger's does (good for the wife! ). The latter happened around the same time or at the same time.

I do have one modification. I have an iSimple Aux cable jack hookup to my stereo. I'm not certain these are related, but it's worthwhile information.

Is this a fuse some where or a bad connection? I had to take apart the center consoles to install the Aux cable jack hookup, but I did make absolutely sure everything was seated properly and to diagnose this problem, I took it apart again and ensured everything connected properly.

It's odd that only certain lights do not work and my seat heater doesn't work. Are these on the same circuit possibly?

Thanks for your help.

the lights that dont work simply have burnt out or ran its course of its life.

the drivers seat heater might have simply stopped working, as well.

Burnt out. As ohreallywhat noted, check for the seat heater both low and high (sometimes a smack near the area make them work again if it's just a bad connection haha) and the steering wheel controls. The center console lights are a bit of a pain to replace, but nothing like the steering ones in my opinion.
