Default Hatchback climate control lighting question

Was digging around my computer, and I found this picture:



Notice where circled in red, the climate control panel lights up. When I was doing my amber interior lighting conversion a while back, I only saw two #74 bulbs present...did I miss a third bulb? Or was this something custom (LED, maybe)? Just asking, because I like the way it looks, and I've never seen that portion of the climate control lit before. Thanks .

Oh yeah, and forgot to ask...a while back the "1" fan setting on the climate control went out. I take it the problem is the resistor pack? Whereabouts in the car can I find it to fix it? Thanks again .

Thanks for the reply. Can anyone verify that there is indeed a 3rd light position in the climate control? I had a hatchback btw, so I don't really know if that makes a difference.

Here's mine:



You can clearly see the area in question (the dark spot that's lit in the other two pics lol).

looks like your missing the light to select where you want the air to go ( face, foot, dash..ect)

Yeah, I kinda figured that, but I posted about the climate control lights a while back, and someone told me there were only 2 in the hatchback (both of which I replaced). Can anyone verify on their USDM hatches that the bottom select does not light up?

the funny thing is my climate control is the opposite of yours. My top doesn't light up but the bottom does. I need to replace the bulbs.

Wait, I'm confused now...there're only two bulbs?! I got my lighting amber by replacing the 2 bulbs I saw on the unit (one on the far left, one on the far right) with #74 amber bulbs. Damn, I'd really like to check right now, but my car is like an hour away .
