Default Dash LED's / red illuminating lights

When you turn the headlights on in ur car, all the buttons and stuff light up as well, to that light red color. but after taking apart my "gear shifting" area, i had to detach the LED for the seat warmer. After this, the light went out. I think it's bc i detached it with the battery still connected. So now everything lights up as normal except the drivers side seat warmer button. This is a very simple problem but i have no clue how to fix it. Does anyone know how to replace this or what i need to fix this? i just want it to light up!

where do you get these bulbs from bc if u look inside of the switch it doesn't look like a bulb is in there. it it just a block of plastic connected to wires. it's confusing

here are the part #'s for the bulbs you need. you need 1 of these 35852-SDN-A01 and 2 of these 35853-SDA-A01. theres usually a piece of tape covering the bulb just remove it.and you will be able to access the bulbs to change them

checkZvtec i doubt you would no me but i havent live in danbury to long i went to school in new york

Working at a Honda dealership I see this all the time. Curse of replacing dash lights. When I sell 1 light, I always recommend replacing all the bulbs because I have seen that happen way too many times. You don't even have to touch a bulb or even the area of where the dash light is and they will go out, can be very frustrating.
