Dash lights in TA23

Heya guys,
Just went for a drive and noticed that the iterior of my car was a little darker than usual, Speedo & all guages were lit properly and the CD player was on, then I realised that all the environmental controls(fan, heater etc...) wern't lit up. Now I'm guessing its either a fuse or there is some small globe somewhere, which of these 2 is correct, or is it neither  Any help would be appreciated, on my parents car SV01 we've got the same problem so solving it would be great  .
Thanks,
Nath

I after installing my mates headunit in his Camry, the environmental controls weren't working. Looked through the fuses and couldn't find anything (There wasn't a fuse just for those controls anyway, it was for all of the instruments). I had to pull out the headunit again  so I could get behind the heater controls. There was a wire running to the back of it that goes to a tiny bulb on a plastic bevel. I simply had to twist it and the plastic part with the bulb inside slid out. I pulled out the bulb itself, it had blown and was black, so it was simply a matter of going down to Repco and buying a new one for about $1.50.
Hope that helps!
