Interior lighting

So I am going to have the shop replace some interior lights, which it just got back from doing once, but they forgot about 3 or 4 lights (anybody else have these lights going out a bit earlier than expected?).
I was wondering if one of you kind folks know off hand or could take a quick look at the sunroof switch. Mine is not illuminated. Should it be?
Thanks in advance

One of the two blue interior lights by the homelink buttons on my '05 has been off since I got the car (about a month ago). I don't want to hijack the thread but can anyone who's replaced one of these lights tell me how much it was?

they are soldering in since they are LED's, and not bulbs, if you want it replaced you would need to buy the homelink circuitboard

Why do these cars seem to have so many interior lights out? Mine has at least 3 out right now, all are switch backlighting lamps. LED's ares supposed to last substantially longer than standard lights. Anybody have any ideas as to the root cause of all these light outages? I have never seen anything quite like it. Wish I had the answers.

Yes, scarey avatar. and thanks for the reply


No idea why they didn't just throw down and make it all LED.

My '02 has better luck with the backlighting.
