can't help wondering, but...

I recently took out my dash to replace a burnt out clock light...after putting it back together I thought all was well but now I'm wondering...is there supposed to be a light behind the sunroof switch like behind the fog light and VSA switch?..I can't remember...kinda dumb shit question, but that's me...OCD all the way...

No need to open the whole dash.

Just remove the fuse cover on the drivers side, there is a phillips screw you'll have to remove, this will allow you access to pull the lower cover (under the steering wheel) away from the dash, pull from the top. Once you've pulled that you have access to behind the switches, just push from behind and it'll come right out, un-hook the switch from the harness and it's good to go.

Oh... yes there are the tiny little bulbs just like the clock, IIRC they're smaller.

If you notice the little white dot at the bottom left of the picture, thats the dash light dimmer, it also has a bulb in it.

If the bulb is installed in a plastic holder the fits into the switch (like the fog light switch bulb) I think you'll have to get them at the dealer. Or, check Radio Shack for the tiny bulb only & put it back in the holder. Just verify voltage/wattage spec.

going on this what are the bulb sizes for the the dash. I know it's on here somewhere but I am a bit lazy to search. Or maybe someone can tell me where I can find out this info.
