1996 Honda Accord Lights behind heat and A/C controls are n

Hello,
The lights behind the heat and a/c controls do not work. When driving at night you can't see the controls to adjust the settings. Are the bulbs themselves possibly burned out? The lights for the instrument cluster are fine. I didn't know if these are on the same fuse or if there is possibly a separate fuse for the lights behind the heat and air controls. If I do have to replace the bulbs, do I have to remove the center console in order to get to the screws that loosen the housing for the heat and a/c control unit? I have a Haynes repair manual and just from what I can deduce from that, I will need to remove the radio and possibly the center console in order to get the heat/ac module out to change the lights. If I do have to replace those bulbs, I just need to know if this is what I need to do or is there is an easier/guicker way to get to them. Thanks in advance for any help that you can offer.
