I Was Wondering If The Lights In The Radio And In The Shift Words , Do They Turn On? Or They Have No Light At All In Those 2 Places?
 
What do you mean? The buttons in the radio are backlit (the words turn green), and the shifter also has backlighting on the Letters.
 
then i must have something wrong cuz mines doesnt turn on
 
"Mines"-Only used when describing multiple explosive devices or multiple places where diamond and coal are obtained.
 
shifter light isnt hard to replace, just pop the cover off and there are 2 bulbs in there I think if have sst. the bulbs can be found at any car parts store.
 
The lights in the factory head unit are led's hardwired directly into the circuitboard. I don't think that's your problem. But i could be wrong...
 
+1 on this problem, intermittently no head unit or shifter illumination...and the poor dealer around here says its normal

A wee bit more to it than this. The center console needs to come up, which simply means the ashtray/heated seat trim needs to be popped off, then the console lifted up and off. Traction Control plug needs to be unplugged from switch for the console to come completely off. The shift bezel may need to be taken off, or at least lifted up for room. The bezel pulls straight up and unsnaps from it's holders. You should then be able to twist the bulb housing counterclockwise, pull out, and replace bulb.

Uh ok, well thats all I had to do for mine. Pop the shifter plate up and carefully pull the bulbs out and re-install new ones. So....whatever works for you. My way worked for me no problems in less than 5 minutes, job done.
 
i agree they should def illuminate with the dash lights. fwiw the +03's have redesigned trunk and gas buttons that are some shiny buttons
 
"Mines" sometimes fail to light when I start the car, I noticed one of the times this happened, the car also failed to shift into reverse, it hasnt happened enough for me to test whether the two were related or not. It lights up within a few seconds, not sure if its when I shift or what.
