I'm just wondering if anyone knows for sure what the ignition light is on the 8th gen Accord. I'm speaking of the light that illuminates the ring around the key slot. I'm thinking it'd probably be a 194/168 type bulb but I just wanted to check to see if anyone knows? Thanks! :)

I have no idea what bulb it is (sorry I can't help), but I am curious as to why you would want to know?

Are you looking to swap it out for somthing different?

Yup! I'd like to change it to a soft white light.

Basically the white lighting used to illuminate the window, mirror, and heated seat switches. I don't like the mix of green and white lighting Honda is using. I wish Honda would have used all white LEDs behind the instrumentation, similar to the TL and I think the TSX. :)

agreed.. green is so boring.. wish the whole interior the radio and AC buttons was all white. . or mix white and blue..

I agree! I think I'm going to tackle the job.

I just got back from the dealer (just ordered the V6 fogs and the necessary parts) and I had the parts guy look up the bulb. He couldn't find it. I think I'll end up going a little bit further when I switch out the lighting switch and see if I can figure it out. If I do, I'll be sure to let everyone know.
