cig lighter errr, light

[stern]

errrm is the cig lighter supposed to be illuminated I'm sure mine always was but I was trying to light a fag last night and it took me ages to find it.

The lighter itself still works it's just not illuminated anymore.

If it's broke how the hell do you fix it can I replace a bulb or do I have to replace the thing that comes out.

Oh and while I'm at it, my rear heated window doesn't heat.

and while I'm asking pointless questions, on a three door is the drivers seat supposed to slide forward when you tilt it forward for someone to get in the back. because my passenger seat moves forward but drivers side doesn't which is a shame becuase I'm 6ft 2 and I have the seat right back.
