Yep...HVAC controls along with the rear defrost switch & the emergency flashers switch are all supposed to have backlights.

The HVAC controls use the following bulbs:
Nissan part #
27545-50J00 Lamp-Heater Con ...you'll need 3 I think...this should be the short bulb
27545-50J05 Lamp-Heater Con...you'll only need 1...this is the long bulb.
In order to replace the bulbs, you'll have to remove the HVAC control unit & partially disassemble it, (which means removing the back cover & disconnecting a wiring harness from an electronic circuit board & removing the circuit board. Tools need are phillips screwdriver, about 3 small flathead screwdrivers (jewelry-type screwdrivers preferred), and a needle-nose pliers - to pinch the plastic retaining tabs on the circuit board)
It's not that hard to do if you have some handyman skills and are comfortable taking apart electronic circuits...

As for the Rear Defrost & Emergency flasher switches, you'll need Radio Shack Part #272-1092C - 12 Volt/60 milliamp Micro Lamps #7219. You'll have to completely tear apart the switches to get to the bulb assembly units, to which you'll have to seperate the bulb from the base unit to replace it. It's not that hard to do..just time consuming....

Anyhow, hope this helps....good luck!!
