Same thing happen for my passenger seat warmer. I got it all out finally....only to find that it was fully sealed within the button. But it should be easier with the VSA button i think

The bulb is screwed into the side of the seat heater button. Just screw it out.

Not as easy as that. I got the whole entire switch out of my car. I almost had it, but there were 3 plastic circle things blocking the way to remove the outer casing.

as aaronng said, its easy to get to, just a screw out plastic globe holder on the side...

Is it that blue circle thing? Is that the bulb? I figured it was the pivot part of the switch.....

yeah the blue plastic thing...

you can buy the replacement bulbs from honda... just take the switch into your spare parts guy and he'll help you out :)

Any idea on cost? Are they just standard LEDs? I'd rather not buy from Honda or they might overcharge me x10.

theyre not LEDs, theyre small 12v globes... you wont be able to buy from anywhere else unless they order it in for you... honda would prob charge $5-10... not too much... just dont buy lunch for a day, make a sacrifice for your car :p

[Ken-f]

ahahaha, I STILL WANT MY LUNCH! :P Not exactly much of a sacrifice I guess. :P

Bought the bulbs today... $9.25...
