2001 passat led instrument panel lights out

I have a 2001 vw passat, the illumination lights for the instrument panel for the heater and fan controls is out. Is this a light problem or could I possibly have a fuse out? The indicator lights for the right and left vents are also out, any connection?
Thank You

Pull your fuse panel and check the
fuses that are for the instrument lights
to see if they are burnt out. I doubt it's
a wire issue being a 2001. Just start
with checking the fuses and work your way
to the actual panel itself and check all the
connections.
