Default 4x4 control lights dark at night

Hello everyone, these forums rule. I searched these forums for
A solution to my problem but I can't find An answer.
My 4x4 high and 4x4 high lock buttons are
Not visible at night ( there is no light), except the orange
Light to me which mode I am in but not the
White light. every other thing on the control
Panel lights up except these two lights. I can
Switch to any 4x4 mode no problem so it can't be anything
Wrong with the transfer case. The 4x4 low light
Works normally and it dims or gets brighter when I
Adjust the dimmer switch. Anybody know what's wrong.
Thanks

Default lights out....

Make sure your in the furthest to the left button, all wheel high. Haha.
And your bulbs are probably just out.... i did alot of research lately on the dash instrument panel lights, as my center air control **** lights are out... the three ***** are lit up by a tiny bulb behind each, i just ordered replacements in led, ultra violet color hehehe..... i believe i read the other dash items, such as your 4x4 lights, are leds, and maybe only replaceable by desoldering and soldering new ones... no worries, when my bulbs come in within a week, ill have the dash off and ill get to the bottom of these 4x4 lights and let you know the best way to replace them, as i want a bright white or more uv colord ones... ill open them up and see what our choices are for bulb or led replacements... if you can hear your transmission click into the different gears when pressing these your ok, just bulb is out... but make sure your riding around in the furthest to the left...

Default bulbs?

probably bad bulbs. its been discussed here,pics,need to solder in i think.

it takes some work and skill to get to them.
the bulbs are 12v,.060 amp.

if you search you may find the thread that covered this in detail.

Maybe before you buy anything, just have a look behind there. The bulb in my temp control know has been out for 6+ months adn just the other day I noticed it was illuminated again. I didn't do anything nor have I done anything in the cab of the truck for quite some time so I suspect it may just be a loose connection. You never know.

Good idea - I will probably wait a week or two, hopefully it's just
A loose connection.
Thanks
