Dashboard illumination lights problem

Hi Guys
I am new here so if this is in the wrong place I wont be offended if you move it or tell me where I should be posting....
I have a 1999 230K and the lights behind the large right hand ventilation/ heating dial have stopped working. The one behind the left hand dial is OK. I cant see how to get in behind the dash and I don't know if this is an easy bulb to fix or will require soldering on to a board.
Can anyone with this knowledge please offer me some advice as its a pain not knowing where the air is going at night......
Thanks in advance....

Hi thank you very much for the redirect and reply. I have done my vehicle details. Will post a 'hello' in a minute.
The article you directed me to is for the instrument cluster. Is there one for the lights behind the heater controls in the middle of the dash/ console. That is where I am lacking light!

Yeah it's super easy. Just get a flat head screwdriver behind the black dial, or pull it off with your bare hands if you're feeling man enough! ;-) No screws holding it in, there is a bulb behind each side of the air con. Plug and play :)
