Could anyone advise me on how I can replace lights in the switches on my
1995 Maxima SE? It's becoming harder to find them while driving at night.
Do I need special tools? Can I somehow take off the front templates to
replace them or do I have to remove the entire dashboard or get to them from
underneath by dashboard?
Lights in switches that I have to replace include:
-emergencey flashers switch
-from my climate control: Auto, Econ, Off, Defroster
-from my Bose stereo system: several of the number light switches are burned
out
-the lights in my seat heaters switches
Thanks in advance for any advice.

If they are all dim, I would check the dimmer switch first before wholesale
replacing bulbs.

It's really not worth it. On your next car, don't run with them on full
brightness.

The lamps are proprietary and are expensive; generally not worth the cost.
In the future, don't run the dash lights full bright all the time. Just
turn it up when you need it.

Check out Maxima.org: they list several articles on removing/changing
dash, climate control, and other cabin lights. Use Google to search the
.org if the search function doesn't work.
BTW, from what I understand, most of the lights that you're describing
are not inordinately hard to replace, they simply require you to remove
panels and switches and do a little surgery. If you can figure out how
to remove the panels (instructions on the .org), you can likely replace
the bulbs.
Good Luck,
Bryan
