I have an 02 TL Type S, when you are driving in D5 i see the light changing from bright green to a dim green but it doesnt go out. Is this a major problem or just a glitch. Also, when starting your car have you ever noticed the Park light (P) and the D5 button light up. Is that the way it should be.

 

If it starts flashing it generally indicates that your tranny is on its way out. Do any other lights come on like the VSA or the CEL?

 

not that i am aware of. It changes from bright green to dark green all the time.

 

maybe the bulb is going out, or for some reason there happes to be a drop i current? what you have doesnt mean any thing is failing

 

it may be the bulb but since it is an 02 I thought that it might be a little premature for that to happen.

 

my VSA light dims whenever my system hits. like if im playing a song with deep bass, i guess the amp drains power causing dash lights to dim.

 

a new bulb could be bad before it gets used. any thing is possible
