My 04 rx8 is running real smooth only problem now is that at night, when I turn on the headlights, the interior lighting doesn't turn on. Such as the radio lighting with the red highlight on the numbers nor when I wanna switch from bright whitend
To dark on my speed odometer by the steering wheel, nor does the headlights on symbol appear. Including when I turn signals, the green light is to dim including the mileage on the vichle is to dim........ Could it just be the interior fuse that needs to be replaced or something else? No aftermarket lighting on the interior was added only bright led lights on the headlights is all but was done a little over 30,000 iles ago. Please help it bothers me when I drive at night

 

Check the dimmer switch.

 

+1

 

I was about to say that too, and you beat me into it...lol

 

Off ur talking about the switch next to the dsc button then yes that's not it at all. I littler rally mean their is no lighting in the radio unit beside the text display...

 

Nor the when I turn on the signal lights. The display button is to dim and yes I've missed around with the dimmer switch but that's not the issue

 

Have you check the fuses?

 

Does the light in the trunk work?

All those lights run from a footwell fuse 'room 15a' including the trunk.....

 

The only fuse I tried to swap was slot 14 with a fuse of 15a since that slot is the one for the interior but it makes no sense since when I turn on the beams on high the blue signal turns on. I'll post some pics tomorrow morning if someone can show me how to post them up or I'll be gladly to send them. I just want this problem to be fixed. It annoying....

 

But I will test out ur theory on the trunk light tomorrow earl in the morning... And where is this footwell fuse? Located?

 

The light trunk does turn on... Only the stereo unit lighting doesn't turn on nor the headlight on symbol turn on
