Ashtray Light in 2013?

[jda8]

If anyone on here has a 2013 Genesis, could you please check and see if your ashtray (the one in the front, in front of the gear shifter) has a light illuminating it when you push open the cover? I know my 2009 Genesis had a light in the ashtray. I just noticed last night that my 2013 R Spec either has a blown ashtray light bulb or just doesn't have a light at all. I see the little white window though, which makes me assume the bulb is just blown. Thanks!

Yup,there's a white light behind the ashtray, and the cigarette lighter has a blue light inside it.

Thanks. I'll have to get it replaced. I wonder if it'll be covered by warranty....

IIRC when I took the center console out that the light is a normal bulb with a blue plastic coating on top. Been almost two years now so I could be wrong.

It is a real tiny bulb half the size of T10s.
I cant seem to pull the bulb out of the socket.

Anyone successfully replace this bulb?

I know this is am old thread.
It is a T5 bulb.

I replaced mine with an LED bulb
