hi is this an easy job to do and also where do you get leds from?

There are five bulbs at the back of the Climate Control Panel, I suggest you do all five at the same time, I believe there is a guide in the maintenance section on how to do it.

Just don't pull on the wrong metal bar to release it from the dash like I did. I ended up snapping 4 of the 5 screws that hold the climate control to the front panel!  >:(

LED's are a bit iffy on the climate panel.

The two bulbs that light the push buttons use light pipe technology and rely on the bulb emitting light sideways and into them.....an LED has quite a narrow viewing angle and emits light out the front and hence little gets into the light pipes and the push button illumination is poor.....

Don't think the OP was intending to fit LEDs, but just replace bulbs.
