...should the ignition switch illuminate?

What I thought was the illuminator turns out to be the twig ring for the transducer and I cannot for the life of me see where the bulb might live. There's another wire, but it's buried tight up top & is a bit inaccessible.

Anyone know if it's there?

TIA!

From wiki in nsxprime
.....Service Manual Corrections
In '97 and '98 NSX owner's manuals, the ignition switch light is still shown (page 73 in the '97 and page 84 in the '98). In actuality the ignition switch light was removed to make room for the immobilizer receiver starting in 1997.....

Thanks Duncan!

The diagram I was looking at (Lings) showed both bits rather ambiguously; it turns out that it's repeated with prices for the missing parts simply not listed on v2! No wonder my brain hurts...

What is rather odd is that my (£23,000) Honda Prelude both immobilises AND illuminates, hence why I've been trying to shove a blub up it. Mind you, the 'Lude's ears & seats warm up, which the £70K model's don't.
