If you mean the illumination lights on the CC they are inserted from the back. You'll need to pull the CC using 'radio keys' to access them. (Fuses #4 and #7 under hood)

While it's true that you will need the radio code eventually, however if there is no display then it isn't asking for the code yet. Check the radio fuse. Note there may also be one on the back of the radio depending on which model. You'll need to pull the radio for access. (Fuses #11 under hood)
