Does Anyone know if there is supposed to be a light that goes on where the ignition is so that you can see where the key goes??

yes there is. it should glow green.

And how would I get this light to work cuz mine doesnt

Pull the shrouds off the steering column - just a few philips head screws from underneath - and check the bulb.

Since were asking questions about it, is it the same type of bulb thats in the dome light. Are they interchangeable. I'm asking this b/c I have blue lights from the dome that I would love to put there or is it green plastic that makes it green?

green plastic

Thanx alot I got the key light working, i'm going to see if I can get a friend who works with plastic to make me a different colour for the cover that is there. the one that is there is green i'm going to see if He can make different colours of that same size and shape.

Let us know how you go - I'm sure there'd be other people interested too.

Yeah, deffinately keep us posted. I was looking at that the other day wondering if there was anything I could do to change it myself.

Well Can't make the exact copy of the orignal piece but i'm thinking that if I use just a square shaped piece of plastic and use some sort of coloured tint it will work and we are also going to need stronger lights bulbs because the one that is stock is very SH**y and won't shine bright enough to notice the colour difference. The lite I got from CT is still not strong enough. If someone can find a strong Bulb that would help.

clear plastic and a permanent marker

maybe some clear blue hobby paint?

My key hole light turns on and off. It doesnt stutter or anything, but one random time i open the car door and it's on. Other time's it's not. It's more often not on than on.

What can i do? I know the bulb is good and that it works.

Thanks.

IIRC, the key illumination is to be triggered on when opening the car door. I believe it also is on a timer that starts at that point. That timer is ballparked to give adequate time for a person to find the keyslot in the dark - 5 maybe 10 seconds at most. It will shut itself off when timed out and will trigger back on again when/if the door is openned again.

so does something have to be replaced? the iirc unit?
