All, I purchased a 95 Subaru Legacy L AWD about a few months back, runs great and all as I use it for a commuter car. The other night, I had to run out for groceries real quick and just grabbed the car that was at the end of the driveway which so happen to be the Legacy. It was the first time I was driving at night and I realize that the Legacy, at least mine perhaps do not have lights that light up where vent selection is. I get the selection light when you select a specific vent (green and one amber) but I do not get the steady backlight that shows all the vent when you turn on the headlights to let you know what to select. Is this normal for Legacy models or did the dash light which lights the vent backlight went? If it is the bulbs, is it a easy replacement?

 

BTW, I did check all the fuses and they are all in order, nothing blown.

 

Much thanks for any help in advance. -Ray

These lights are a common failure. Here is some links that may help you replace them.
