Id love to help, though not sure exactly what you are referring to? Did you see this online somewhere?

Yes 4 zone climate lights up the 2 outer vent wheels, 2 zone don't without the led mod.
I just need to know which LEDs etc

Maybe somebody else can chirp in, not 100% on what you are talking about... The little wheels that adjust the airflow are not lit up?

These ones aren't on mine

Man... that's an odd one, a first... So these have never been working for the beginning and you bought your vehicle new? Or you bought it used?
I don't know that these come without the light, somebody corrects me if I'm wrong.

I assume you checked all fuses that would be associated with that?

I wasn't able to find anything in the catalog... If nobody knows, its best if you go to the dealer to inquire... at least get the part number so you're able to purchase it elsewhere if needed.

So a 4 Zoned climate control (and a 50i ) has the outer dials light up while the regular A/C doesn't.

Here is more information on this for anyone interested.

We'll, how else do you bait customers into spending on options/upgrades?

Yeah... I guess so... just if nobody knows that that's part of the upgrade... at least I didn't...

Its funny because no one would know those lights would turn on or not if 4 zone climate option or a 50i trim is purchased. Even the dealer doesn't know this.

So.....how does this get fixed? Mine do not light up.

Edit: here is the solution for anyone looking.
