I also have an Accord LX with the same problem. Interesting.

Not a big deal to me as long as the light shuts off when the engine is off... which it does. If it really bothers you, take out the bulb.

Yeah my 96 EX does that also I finally just disconnected the light. I figured someone in my car must have hit the glove box and messed it up so it didn't align anymore but it seems like it is a comon problem.

Ok HERE is the Miracle FIX. get a pencel cap eraser...the ones you used to use in elementary school. Put it on the push button switch...I've used this fix for 7 years.
