Defrost light is out.
 

Hey everyone,
does anyone have experience replacing the light bulb for the rear defrost button?

Mine went out today.

It sucks. You got to remember if you left it on or off.

Yup.

After you remove the defroster mechanism, there's a twist release underneath.

It's a rubber sheath and bulb holder.

You'll need to replace it with either a Nexxtech micro lamp (#2721092) from The Source, or something I picked up at Active Electronics called a T-1 Bi-Pin lamp. The T-1 is shorter, and you'll need to do a tiny spot solder. Otherwise I'd recommend the Nexxtech one b/c it has longer lead wires.

The lamp is a 12.0 V 0.06 Amp or 60 mA bulb.

you can get the replacement bulb from the dealer at 6 bucks, just pop out the fog switch with a flat screw driver and you can pull the cartiage out by loosen the clip on the side and it's the brown bulb to be replaced

3.99 at the Source. You get 2 bulbs.

good someone posted this mine is burnt out too. Overdose what does it matter if it was on or off once you put it in wont you know if it turns on its on and if its off it wont light up? Correct me if im wrong.

mines out too :S but everytime i turn my car on i have to click it cuz it shuts its self off when my car goes off :S
