I'm not sure the lighting thread covered that....as far as I can tell, the only way to change the light is to get a new lock cylinder. I'm pretty sure the light (or led) is part of the cylinder. Mine quit working because the contacts corroded away...so a new lock cylinder was the only solution. I'll have a closer look at the old lock cylinder in the next couple days and report back to you if i find differently.

if its not working, chances are the contacts have rusted away. This light should activate at the same time as your green circular ignition light (eg. when you pull on the door handle).

it illuminates when you actually pull on the door handle. there is a switch on the inside of the door handle which activates this light....if both lights aren't coming on for you, I'd start troubleshooting that electrical circuit (if it bothers you enough)
