Ignition Light

In one of these forums somebody mentioned cars with blue ignition keyhole lights being different from cars without. I assumed all of the TSX have them? I tried a search and nothing came up.
I admit it's a dumb question, so don't hold it aginst me OK?

Cheers.

The only difference is build date. Cars with the green ring around the keyhole are from earlier build dates while cars with the blue ring are from more recent build dates.

The green ring club is a very exclusive one. We are a small , and powerful group, that hold influence from business to politics. Beware the greenring.


Seriosuly though, there were very few green ones made. They probably had a bunch of bulbs to finsih off before moving to the blue ones. I think there are only a handful of people on this site with green rings, myself included.

Actually, if I could get a good clear shot of the greenring I would use it as my avatar

ortiz, what're the last 6 digits of your VIN? My car is from one of the early batches, with a build-date in mid-April of 2003 and delivered on May 16th, 2003.

All hail the green rings! (even though I secretly admire those with blue rings cause it matches better) I suppose it doesnt really matter cause I didnt really realize that the key ring was lit anyway.

I smell a poll coming on...........

Okay my build number is 577 (Canadian) and have the rare 'green' key ring.

I wonder what the transition number is?? (from green to blue)

Okay, just for the sake of answering the question of when the changeover point is, all members please list your build number (last 6 digits of your VIN) and the color of the light around your ignition. Let's see how far we can narrow it down.

I'll start.

US Car #004078
Green ring.

Who controls the British crown?
Who keeps the metric system down?
We do! We do!
Who leaves Atlantis off the maps?
Who keeps the martians under wraps?
We do! We do!
Who holds back the electric car?
Who makes Steve Guttenberg a star?
We do! We do!
Who robs the cave fish of their sight?
Who rigs every Oscars night?
We do! We do!


I actually do have a green one btw.
