Default center-dash console! no-lights?!?!

so, my console where the defrost, AC turn-on, and recir. button are, doesnt work. is there a possibility that they are linked to a fuse? or a wirer came loose?

If it's just the lights that quit working, it's probably one of three things.

1. Bad fuse
2. Bad lights
3. Loose plug/wire(s)

I haven't had the normal bulbs in there for years. I usually wind up rotating LEDs every few months or so. Come to think of it, it's time to replace them... I think I'm going to go with green this time.

What?

on the AC/Defrost/recy unit there are only 2 bulbs, 1 bulbs lights up the recy light and the AC, the other bulb is just the defrost, i just replaced the defrsot bulb because it went while i was putting in my new headunit(must have jarred it and broke the filiment) anyway i went to Honda, they had the bulbs in stock, cost me $0.79 for 1 bulb, also the bulbs from pretty much any honda dash will fit.
