so i was fiddling around today and was lookin at the hazard switch and noticed theres a bulb on the underside of the hazard switch... i've never seen a hazard switch light up on an eg before anyone know anything more to this?

look at the switch #10 and theres the bulb with it #12

It does?!?!?! Why was I not informed?! I seriously didn't know this, either because I never really used the hazard lights (hey, my civic just never breaks down on the road) or more likely every hazard light switch i've seen has a burnt out bulb.

OMG, mod doesn't know that the Haz switch doesn't light up. Time for pennance I think... Your choice: 5 timing belt changes or 5 complete engine/cabin wiring harness removals

I'll take 5 timing belt changes over swapping harnesses any day. I've seriously never seen one of those switches light up, ever.

This is a hilarious thread. Don't waste your money at Honda for one of those bulbs. It's like $8 or some BS. Find ANY Honda or Acura at a junkyard and pull a dozen bulbs (that's what I do), or else go to Radio Shack and do this: https://honda-tech.com/forums/showth...lb+replacement

PS. Yes, for the record, mine lights up. I changed it in 2008 with some junkyard findn and still going strong.

I Highly Doubt that your gonna find a working light bulb from a junkyard if all theses people on honda tech bulb doesn't work lol

I wouldn't be surprise this discovery would be on Honda Tuning Magazine now.

^ No. THere's about a bazillion other bulbs in every car that will fit the Haz bulb. They're a standard dash light/switch bulb in just about every Honda. Uh, don't pull the Haz bulb though.

this is hilarious, i've never noticed mine till i saw this thread and decided to see for sure since i never use the hazards in my 93 hatch, and....it lights up lol

No when you turn your head lights on, theres a bulb in there and it lights up the hazard symbol. I've replaced mine thats the only reason it works.

Also if you guys didnt know the ciggerette tray lights up to. Alot of the egs ive been in those were burnt out aswell.

deadazleep

^^ thats what i meant, hazard symbol lights up when the headlights are on, and no ash tray to test that one

Haha, didn't know this was a problem, my hazard switch lights up, has in every eg I've owned and I've never had to replace the bulb...better go knock on wood now...

what size would it be for led? same as climate control or same as the cluster

snake_eyes

man they want $7.80 for a dinky bulb i think ima go the junkyard way lol i swapped from the defroster switch to see how it looks and... it looks tight havin a little red triangle

civicsmoke

climate control and cluster are the same bulb.

Plus the answer is ... neither. It's a neo-wedge bulb... v. tiny.

Tried LED. Never could get it to work. Just get a bulb. I figured out it lit up about 2 years ago. Mine never worked and the switch graphic was looking tired so I found a nice one at the yard and was surprised when it lit up.
