Default accord 2003 heated seat lights.

The radio display lights quit so I took it to the honda garage. they fixed it under the radio warrenty. The next morning I noticed the lights on both seat warmer switches only when on high don't work. the seat still gets warm but the light does not work. It works on low, just not on high. The garage says they did nothing wrong, the light bulbs must have both burned out at the same time.
My Question is, Is this possible, or does the wireing go through where they were working. I don't know how much they had to tear out to fix the radio.
thanks.
jim

the bulbs burnt out. but we remove that part and it snaps back in place, the shock helps shorten the bulbs life.

there are two seperate switches. Both burned out at same time?, It's not the easiest to get too. I took one switch apart about half way. Does the housing have to come off to get to the bulbs or, there are 3 turn in dials in the side of them. I pulled out center one. It looked like the bulb. One bulb only. when on low it works. not on high.
What are the other two dials?

the 'dials' are the bulbs. i believe there are 2 blue and 1 brown colored sockets? i forgot. either way, the two side bulbs are the amber light when you activate the seat heater on high or low, and the center bulb is the illumination when you turn the headlights on.
