When I bought my 164 the ext. temp backlight was out. Turns out there's
a regular little incandescent bulb back there in a tiny plastic socket.
I was unable to get an exact replacement (though didn't look TOO hard),
but found the correct bulb at Radio Shack with bare leads, which I
soldered very carefully into place. Can't remember if I soldered into
the socket or right to the board - probably into the socket. I would
assume that the interior temp display uses a similar bulb, so this
procedure should work for you too. Someone will correct me if I'm worng
there...
