I have a 2003 Forester, the climate control is three knobs (temperature, blower, and vents). After getting a stereo installed, the backlight behind the temperature knob is out. The stereo store is working with me to replace it, agreeing to order the light kit wholesale, split the cost with me, and install it. The part number Subaru gave me is 72350SA000, differenent from part numbers referenced in previous postings. The price from 2 different dealers was $47 and $55. It's described as a 3 light assembly. The blown bulb pulled out has a white plastic base, flat on the bottom with a slot to twist it into place. Does anyone know how to pull the climate control unit on the '03 Forester? It seems easy, the installer does it in no time, but I didn't see him do it and I think it's a trade secret. thanks, john
