Looking for part number for Rear Climate Cntl light

For some reason BMW saved about $1 and left out the bulb which provides backlighting to the temperature dial on the optional Rear Climate Control.
The opening is there. The wiring (pin #7 & #8) are populated on the wiring harness leading to the rear vent. But the wires, bulb holder and bulb are MIA.

I can't seem to find it in ETK...




Here's the wiring...

Just in case someone want's to pull their's apart it's quite simple...

1. Open center armrest and pull storage bin up and out
2. Remove 2 sheet metal screws (#2 Phillips) from rear of storage bin, near hinge
3. Pull buttom of rear vent from above rear cupholders (open rear cupholders first)

For installation, line up the fabric ductwork with the rear vent while pushing the rear vent in place.
