there are lights back there, but they blow if you so much as sneeze to hard.  
 
You can change em, but its a ballache.

only takes me 30 mins to get that panel off and to the bulbs lol. you don't have to unhook all the cables for heat control etc, its all clipped in (and some have 2 torx screws), stick LEDs in em, should last longer, had them in mine for well over a year and they're still fine.

sometimes there are screws going through the white plastic bit into the facia so you need to take the whole thing out before you prise it off
