Default Illumination Switch issues

Hey Guys,

I own a 98 Integra GS. I may have overlooked this but I noticed today that my hazard light & defrost switches didn't light up when I turned the main headlights on. Are they suppose to light up (illuminate) when the the headlight/ parking lights are on?

As well, I have noticed that the fog light switch does does not illuminate either. Is there a way to add an internal light in the switch or a illuminated switch that can fit in replacement of the OEM switch.

The interior of these cars is ''dark'' even though the dash lights are on, cluster etc. Any ideas or suggestions/ advice on the above query?

Thanks

Sounds to me like you have blown light bulbs. They should light up when headlights are turned on. As for replacing them might be a bit of a challenge.

Damn, both lights went out at the same time? Yeah I'm sure a wreckers will have these. The only issue is if they light up or not. I checked with an online resource for an integra's manual. Taking these switches out looks very delicate. If I pry them out I don't want to damage anything.
Any suggestions on the moon-roof switch? I don't know why Honda decided not the illuminate the damn thing!
