R33 Interior Lighting

[No Crust Racing]

Howdy R33 owners,

I've noticed that my hazard light switch and rear demister are not lit in the same way that other buttons are at night, can someone please confirm that there buttons are lit?

Cheers

[Mr Italy!]

Mine arent lit either...

*waits for a third person to confirm*

[No Crust Racing]

[Craved]

[No Crust Racing]

Craved: which one? As people are saying the rear demister lights up.

oh sorry, yeah the hazard light switch doesnt, from any i have seen, then again even my aircon unit doesn't light up (missing the bulbs)

cant remember about the demister, havent had it plugged in for about 2 years

[R33TOM]

might be a stupid question but where is the demister button on a series 2? lol i never thought of that switch ever since owning my car.

[Craved]

under the centre vents in the dash, next to the hazard switch

Craved they both are supposed to light up.

I fixed mine a while ago, I wrote a guide showing how to do it in the following thread on gtr.co.uk:

You, my friend, are a legend

I've noticed that when I don't need to use it, the rear demister light does not light up. But when the rear window needs to be demisted, it lights up!

It's like the car knows when I really need to use it or if I'm just fooling around with the controls

[ferni]

wow... What about the hour min and reset buttons around the clock then? are they ment to light up?

looks like the power window controls are ment to light up as well...

[Wink]

Yes. The 'Auto' word on the driver power window control switch is meant to light up.

Not sure on GTRs, but for GTS-Ts, series 1 have a blue backlight for the switch while series 2 have a green backlight.

The blue backlight looks alot better.

[ferni]

Ahh yeah that lights up, dunno what I was thinking...

[RANDY]

Thanks for asking for me, Dan! Neither my demister or hazard lights up, and I was thinking that they should!

[RANDY]

Great guide! I'll have to undertake this soon!

My AUTO lights up on the window-control panel, no probs...

Hours and Minutes (and reset) do not light up, and they probably shouldn't unless anyone can say otherwise?

[Craved]

looks like there will be alot of hazard and demister switches getting pulled apart soon lol

dont think any R33 i've been in has ever had them work ..

one day i'll get to fixing this too.

[ferni]

Yeah my gf's R33 hazard doesn't light up either... i'm not sure what size bulb the GTR.co.uk tut wants us to use, i'll have to pull it out and check....
