Default Heated Seats Switch (light)

Hey guys, is there a bulb or something underneath the heated seats switches? I have an '04 EX, 4door and the drivers side switch does not light up anymore. When I flick the switch, the little red dot shines but when the heated seats are NOT on, the display on the switch doesn't light up (unlike the passengers).

Is there a way to take off that console area to see?

Thanks!

I just replaced a switch this week because the bulb is burnt out. The bulbs aren't listed seperate.

They show you can get the bulbs seperate there. Interesting, my parts department sucks. Oh well, the one i replaced was warranty anyway.

Oddly enough i had the exact same problem on my 04 Accord EX - and it was also the drivers side - strange that it was the exact same light. The dealership replaced it and its fine - never had any issues with the passenger side though.

I went to Radio Shack and bought a pack of 12-Volt Microlamps (model #272-1092) and put them in. Took me about 15min and are a perfect match. Cost me only a $1.69 for two bulbs and the dealer wanted almost $8.
