Thank you all!
so happy with my new 2005, 95,000 miles sc!
inspection went really good.
I absolutely love it! (With the run flats😃. What a fine, classic car. So smooth, such a great engine and gear, so linear, simply fun!!! Some minor issues (gear box light dead, ashtray cover do not pop up, have to open manually, sound system sounds not good, especially in the back, trunk struts are weak - ordered new ones)
two questions to the honorable members.
1. Memory seats buttons, are these suppose to be illuminated?
2. how do I find out my dash wood color? The gear shift **** seems to have slightly different color.
thanks so much!
Beautiful car and GREAT color combo. The wood is walnut; and the sound system speakers are likely in need of being re-foamed using a kit from Simply Speakers; very inexpensive and prevents the rattling on bass notes. Memory buttons are not illuminated. Congrats!!
Welcome ! Congrats ! US model 2005s came without the pie plate wheel caps and use twisty wheel caps instead. Would you stay with the pie plates or try something different.

I was not aware of that. Will have to dig in, do some research...and we’l see.
Went through relevant threads. Managed to get the glove box bulb out! So proud😂
1. Took the driver’s side floor bulb plastic cover out just to find out that there is nothing underneath 😱(see pictures)... got myself below the steering wheel with a flashlight, found nothing...any ideas?
2. Found a button in the glove box...try to fit in place, keeps falling. Some part is missing...(see pictures). Any ideas?
highly appreciate your thoughts
Get rid of those run flats ASAP for better steering stability and smoother ride. The run flats aggressively tram rail and it's really disconcerting to have your car suddenly change directions on the highway without any steering inputs from you. Pilot Sport All Season's fixed that awful tendency.
I couldn’t tell but it looked like the button cover is broken on the right. Trip to savage yard or dealer part department will help. There are many inexpensive things you could do for your SC like replace all light bulbs with LEDs, adding puddle lights, adding backup camera, etc....Do a search on the related subjects you will find lots of information.
Congrats and welcome to the club.
Without going out to my car and checking, I believe that is where the driver's footwell light is supposed to be. Check behind the panel to see if the socket got pushed out and is hanging loose up there.

Yes like GMAN said, I replaced every single interior light bulb with LED and it made a real difference. Very happy. The map light can be tricky because of the reverse polarity so depending on what replacement bulb or LED board you use, you may have to cross wire. But the difference once you have white LEDs in the interior is very pleasing. Highly recommended. Change the trunk bulbs too - very easy.

Mine has a small socket there with a small bulb. I replaced it with a small LED. Looks great when you open the door/ unlock the car at night.
