Default Few questions about interior lights

Well i just got an 05 accord ex-l, the backlight for the moonroof control and driver heated seat button(the on lights work not the backlight) dont work. Are those replaceable and if so is it and easy fix? Also the glove compartment light stays on wether its open or closed when the headlights are on. Is it supposed to stay on? It is annoying because you can see a sliver of light during the night.

Yes, the bulbs are replaceable. The bulbs look like plastic screws in the side of the switch. I think you have to pry the cover around the shift lever up, to get to the heated seat switches, and the moonroof switch should come out by itself. Be careful not to scratch the covers. Yes, the glove box light is on, whenever the headlights are on. There is some kind of felt that dealerships apply to the door, so you can't see the light, but my car doesn't seem to have that problem, or maybe I just don't notice it.

thx alot i was thinkin that maybe there was an electrical issue with the glove box, the light coming out is minimal so its not a big deal but the other two bulbs need to be replaced cus i cant be feeling around in the night for the switches.

Ehh... went outside and checked the bulbs, good thing is i can change them out quick bad thing is i need the bulbs and cant seem to find them anywhere using google. Can only find 98-02 interior bulbs, but they do look the same just gray instead of blue. Will these work too? if not does any1 know where i can get them? http://www.partsgeek.com/pdproducts/...rtsGeek+Nextag

I would call your dealership for prices on the bulbs.
