2001 Honda Civic LX Coupe. A light seems to have gone bad at the lower left side that lights up the 3 dials for the AC, fan, temp adjust. What does it take to replace the bulb or could it be a fuse? The ***** pop off but that is as far as I had gotten.

 

You'll have to pull off the whole console... the light bulbs will be back there

 

How do I do that? Is there screws through the front?

 

you have to pull the center console out (by the shifter) then underneath the stereo and all behind the cup holders are two bolts pointing up. then the radio, climate control, etc all pulls out

 

THanks.... Can I replace radio at same time easily? My tape player stopped and I play my Mp3 player through that.

 

ya. the radio pulls out real easy. i didnt have a tape deck so i dunno exactly how that all works but if its in that plastic section with the climate control it will replace easily. im running a JVC dvd player right now!

 

Would you happen to know what brand radio works in the honda that is quickly replaced? Do they sell tape players anymore?

Any aftermarket radio is going to fit the same, just buy the wire harness and get a cd player that has the ability to hook up to your mp3 player if thats what your worried about...I have one super sweet

 

pretty much everything will fit. usually you have to buy a new plastic trim piece. there like thirty bucks ish.

tape players are pretty scarce. but if ur only wanting to run your mp3 player most radios can have a cable plugged into the back that will connect your mp3 player. jvc makes one that has an audio port (like a headphone jack) on the front that is really handy cuz you can plug right into the front.

to run a dvd player like mine you have to splice all the wires in cuz the factory wiring harness cant handle a dvd player.

I had that trim problem... but I custom made mine

 

Nice! i am going to upgrade mine to a 7" touch screen eventually. like you can get in the 06 and 07s. i'll hvae to custom make the trim to do that one

 

I'm not sure anybody wants to hear this but here goes...

I got a deck that the face kinda slides and tilts down to see the screen behind it, and because of the tilt of the dashboard I couldn't read the display. So what I did (and flame away I don't care because I know what you'll be thinking..."oh that's some rice gay sh*t") is I tilted the cd player sideways so when you change stations or whatever the button are a straight shot from the drivers side and its easier to read. But I took out the cubby hole and it's all custom contoured and carbon fibered now.

 

sounds interesting. pix?

I have a Double Din Dvd Player in mine and all i bought was a Wiring harness and a Double Din Dash Install kit took no more than an hour to hook it up

 

looks good! i like. think you could do a DIY?

thats nice! when i did mine they said they didnt make a connector. it only took me about two hours to splice all the wires and tape them all up so it wasnt too bad either!

 

prob could do that... I'm sure many people would do it differantly but ya... come to think of it how exactly should I go about that?

 

maybe just briefly describe some of the processes. not necessarily so someone can copy you exactly

That's weird. They should have just gave you a regular wiring harness, Maybe they got confused with another car with a Factory amp or something?
