Hi All,

Just bought a 2003 Accord EX-L and I noticed the steering wheel radio and cruise controls are NOT lit at night.
Are they not lit or is there a problem??

Thanks!

The lighted buttons started in 2005. I have a 2004 and mine are also unlit.

Ok Thanks guys.

I just bought this 03 EX-L and can't find a THING wrong with it, 4 cyl-5 speed manual 136,000 miles.
I think it's the first used car I've ever owned where I din't find "something" that needed to be fixed, not that I'm complaining but I'm just amazed!!

Yes, the illumination for the steering wheel controls didn't start until 05'. As Demonics12 mention, their is a great write up by our dearly missed princess on how to install the 05' switches in the 03-04 models.

You can read up on it here: http://www.driveaccord.net/forums/15-7th-generation/1205-05-accord-sedans-3.html

The DIY starts on page 3 on post #46. I've done this to my 03' and it's really not that difficult. However, I am fairly good with electronics and wiring so unless you are comfortable with this I wouldn't recommend attempting this.
