If it was me, I'd pull the bulbs and bring them to the store with me. Get the same bulb in the different color. The model #s are usually printed on the base too, so if you wanted to go LED, you can get the cross reference.

there are i think 3 different types of dashboards.

you have the built-in screen version, the push-button version, or the knobs(right/left) ?

you got me there... i've never taken the rear apart.

check these though for some ideas, or maybe search the forum for subwoofer installations. there were a few topics here with the trims removed.

my first suspect would be the rear hatch glass or the door itself.
check all around that the rubber is not cracked or torn somewhere.
