Default 2004 F150 Interior Light Problems

Hey guys, I have a 2004 F150 that I bought about a month ago. I noticed the first time I drove it at night the bulbs on the drivers panel for the rear windows switches were burnt out. The light just above the dial that you move up and down to adjust the brightness was also burnt out. And, lastly some of the symbols on the dial for choosing if your lights are on or not were burnt out but not all of them. I was thinking it wasn't a big deal and that I would just replace the bulbs that were burnt out. But, then it got much worse when I started it up the other night and noticed that the shifter ( I have the lariat version so its by my side not on the counsel) was dark and my over drive button right next to it was as well. This was very upsetting as the truck is in near perfect shape on the outside and practically brand new on the inside. I also noticed that some of the other window switches are glowing dim and the window lock switch is also burnt out. Any thing I should check such as fuses and if so which ones would be the ones most likely doing this? Thanks.

There's not a fuse or anything just for the lights.
For your switch lights:

Thank Homer for that one.
I'm assuming you meant that you have the console shifter(beside you like a joystick), not the column shifter (beside the steering wheel). Pop up the trim around the console (open the console and you'll see a slot for a flathead screwdriver, just pry up). The bulb is down there. I think it's a 194, but I could be wrong.

Yep it is! Also referred to as a T10 base I believe. Just replaced mine.
