These fit the HVAC Controller in my 2002.
Not sure about your 2004.

I can answer for the radio, and I have a feeling your devices probably have the same answer. Officially, the bulbs are not replaceable and you're supposed to buy a new unit. If you go to the dealer for the fix, they will replace the whole unit. In the radio the bulbs are soldered onto a circuit board and disassembly is a bit tedious with at least a small chance of breaking something. Once apart, the bulbs are readily replaceable and the hardest part is probably finding a suitable replacement. Note that in the radio they use 6 volt bulbs, with pairs connected in series.

My 2002 HVAC Controller uses 2 - 6.3 VDC bulbs in series, as noted in link above.
