Default Lighting/Electrical issue

So I was wondering if anybody had any issues with their front passenger parking light go out. I noticed when I wanted to unlock the car, the light didn't flash. Also, my A/C and stereo buttons near the steering wheel seemed to have dimmed. The A/C temperature knob lightbulb is dead.

Has anybody had this issue? Is this warranty work worthy?

If so, which Honda dealership is good for warranty work?

Car is a CR with 49k miles.

The parking light bulbs go out quite frequently especially on tracked cars from my experience, as far as the interior ones all of the switches inside the car have back lighting incandescent bulbs that burn out occasionally. If your car is under warranty the lighting should be covered!

As far as warranty work, Poway Honda is my dealer of choice.

Thanks Gavin!

Do you think this is a one-day turn around warranty issue? I would hope they could open up the lights and swap out bulbs under warranty (I have extended coverage) without charging me a dime. Is that possible? I stray away from dealerships because they tend to do more stuff than necessary since they could fiddle with something else...

Parking light came back on and working fine again

I was hoping to actually use my warranty for once, but if this is a simple bulb replacement, I guess I'm better off replacing it myself.
