Default lights on dash panel

lights on my dash panel, I guess are blown, the ones on the fan, defrost for the ac/heat, are those replaceable? not the push button ones.

Yes they're replaceable, but you'll need to take the panel out of the car first. The panel bulbs are on the same circuit as the speedometer, etc. backlight. If your speedometer lights up normally, the bulbs in the HVAC panel are probably simply burned out.

The ones on the buttons are LEDs so they pretty much never go out.

yup, they are blown. it's a pain to replace but worth it to be able to see in the dark. I believe its 2 or 3 bulbs in total. you need to access them from behind the control unit which means you need to remove it. go to my signature and download your yr's service manual. it gives you all the details you will need to do this job.
