Default Interior dash light problems (flickering, not staying on, dimming)

Let me list some problems:
  • The HVAC control button lights are nice and bright until I turn on the DRL (which thus turns on the rest of the interior dash lights) and then they get really dim to the point I cannot see them in sunlight.
  • The HVAC recycle cabin air button doesn't stay on even when the component is actually on (I can hear the fan turn on and stay on when I push the recycle air button. Sometimes it'll flicker and the light will shut off.

And one more thing, I would like to replace all of these lights with LED lights, any suggestions where to buy and what kind to buy (what kind of LED lights/connector type) to do this?

Here is a picture (I found on Google) of what my dash looks like:

RonJ, the motor works fine. And the switch turns it on and off fine too. The problem is the light inside of the switch. When I turn on the recirculation motor by pushing the button, the light inside of the button turns on for a second and then turns off but the motor stays on and continues to recirculate.
