Car Forum / Honda Cars / September 20052003 accord speedometer light
Does anyone know how to replace a bulb behind any of the gages? Are the lights LED's or the common 194 bulbs you can get anywhere? I attempted to dis-assemble the gages last weekend and the needles prevented me from accessing the inside of the cluster. i dont want to break my needles but i want to see whats under there! do the needles pull off or is there a screw? Thanks people... Neil > Does anyone know how to replace a bulb behind any of the gages? Are the > lights LED's or the common 194 bulbs you can get anywhere?

Every Honda I've seen has a removable holder that the bulb slips into. They are removed by rotating a 1/4 turn counter-clockwise, and are removed from the BACKSIDE of the cluster. Other than slipping the cluster out toward you, you shouldn't have to 'dis-assemble' anything. Be aware there are backlights, as well as front lights, in the overhang of the cluster. Put your head on the floormat and look up, to be sure which you need. 'Curly' Thanks for replying. I actually called Penske Honda today, and the only view they had was of the cluster itself, nothing to do with the assembly of it. I have been searching online for pics/tutorials for almost a solid month now. (i guess my google-ing skills arent the greatest? ;) So far ive gotten a few ideas from a honda/acura forum, but not many people have done this with the '03-'05 accords. I am positive it is not a front light though. I'll try some of the stuff you mentioned and let you know how it goes.. thanks. Ok, took out my cluster again yesterday, here are some pics of the back http://portfolio.iu.edu/lkvu/Neil/Misc/IMG_3931.JPG http://portfolio.iu.edu/lkvu/Neil/Misc/IMG_3934.JPG http://portfolio.iu.edu/lkvu/Neil/Misc/IMG_3935.JPG http://portfolio.iu.edu/lkvu/Neil/Misc/IMG_3936.JPG I tried rotating them that 1/4 turn Curly mentioned but they wouldnt budge. arg......! Any suggestions??? <<Why not ask your dealer to fax over the exploded view of the cluster, or look at online pictures? Every Honda I've seen has a removable holder that the bulb slips into.

Any suggestions??? =========================== That dash is WAY different than any of the older ones ! ! Suggest you should ask the dealer about the availability of the bulbs . . He might say they aren't replaceable (soldeder-in). ? ?
