moon roof light isnt't working

Ok the light for my moon roof control hasn't been working since I bought it new two years ago. The actual cruise control cluster I know is working fine (the cruise control light and mirror light are fine) but the moon roof will not work.

I first thought I was a fuse but if all the other lights are working that couldn't be it. So before I just pull out that cluster, I want to ask if anyone else knows what it could be and if I really need to take things apart.

If everything else is working fine, I'd assume that it's just the bulb. It's really easy to take apart and remove the bulb.

ya i bought my civic in OCT 02 and like 3 months after my moon roof light burned out as well. unfortunately i cant just tap it to make it go back on. Does anyone have any pics or anything on how to remove that cluster? Is it simple? And what type of light bulb do we need?

What doesn't light up, the actual moon roof light, or the light in the switch for it? Both are easy to replace.
