Several Interior Lights Out

My 04 has several interior lights out.
1. Heated seat switch, switch works, just no light.
2. Lights on the right side of the steering wheel cruise controls
3. Some of the lights on the left side of the steering wheel
4. Shift indicator

How are these replaced?

Thanks

Just buy the bulbs and replace them.

The bulbs screw in and screw out kinda.

Getting to the bulbs is the hardest part.

Check out the 3G garage sticky =)

^^ Pretty much... I have about $80 bux worth of bulbs I need to buy and replace. If I'm taking my dash apart to replace bulbs.. I'm just gonna replace all of them back there.. because I'm not gonna disassemble the center console over and over again.

That is a smart way to look at it.

When I first got mine I had quite a few interior bulbs out. I replaced them in 3 tries. lol

I'd fix a few then a few more would burn out.

I've got pretty much the same lights out as the OP. How much would you think the dealer would charge to replace them? I've replaced interior lights before so I can probably do it myself over winter break, but I'm not too sure about taking out the airbag. Then again, I have taken a digital odometer out to replace the backlight on my dad's odyssey.

It's honestly not much labor. For Acura to change all my steering wheel light bulbs it ran me like $60 bucks all together, out the door.

I have several bulbs out on my back lighting on my seat heaters, VSA and steering wheel cruse control. I just replaced the ones on the steering wheel. it was a peace of cake. make sure you disconnect the car battery first it's dangerous to work with airbags and the battery connected. then on both sides of your steering wheel airbag there are 2 phillips screws one on each side. remove them and pull the airbag out then you can remove the screws for which ever switch panel you have bulbs out and replace them. I'm still trying to figure how to get my other bulbs replaced.
