Default Since I already replaced them with working units I'd be happy to sell you my old ones...

They still function, they just don't light up.

That's ok, I can get them from the local salvage yard, I just thought your mirror one was dark.

Default there are 4 bulbs in the climate control, they are 2 watt bulbs, pop off wood trim around

CC from the left side of unit w/ a knife or flat head driver, it pops straight off, remove CC unit, bulbs are right there

Default can the mirror bulbs be replaced or does the unit need to be replaced?

if so, what bulbs are required can they be gotten from radio shack

Default They can be replaced the same way as the heated seat bulbs...

...by soldering. That switch itself is a bit of a pain to take apart also. You also need to pop the wood off to get to the bolt holding it on also.

Default Some but not all lights don't work, right?

If they all didn't work, then that would point in a non-bulb direction (fuse, dimmer pot, etc.). If some work and some don't, especially if some bulbs in the CC work and other bulbs in the CC don't, then it probably is just a coincidence that multiple bulbs are failing. Maybe exacerbated by temperature stress, age (upward slope of the bathtub curve?), etc.

Are the lights that are out all on the dimmer circuit?

The bulbs that are out are behind the left side CC buttons...and they all went out at the same time.
