hey everyone... i got a 2000 accord 4cylinder... the light for the clock is not working. The clock displays the time, but at night when you turn on the headlights, the background light for the clock should illuminate, but it doesnt. My question is how hard is it to change it or should its a PITA to do and can someone help me out with a part number (I assume its a dealer part right?). Im surprised because its a 2000 with 30,000 miles on it only... and the light bulb broke already... maybe its common. Thank in advance.

 

you need to get a small blub from honda like three buck, open the clock out and install them

 

can you give me a quick rundown on how to take the clock out? thanks man.

 

take a flat head driver, pry it out -->diagram

just pry it out slowly, cover the dash with a cloth so nothing will get scartch up.
that little booger should pop out in no time, easy and clean.
just disassemble the unit, blub's inside

 

pretty common problem among six gen, no biggie
one dealer told my friend it's cant be open, they give my friend a free clock.
but a bunch of h-t ppl got it fixed with a new blub.

 

This is very easy. Just use a small screw driver.

slide the screw driver in between the clock and dash
and use the screw driver to gently pry out on the clock
housing. It should come out preaty easy. Ounce you get
it out just replace the bulb and snap the clock back into place.

 

wow... that sounds easy. I first thought that you need to take out the whole dash to get to the bulb... sounds like fun. Does anyone know the part number by hand because the dealer near me know jack sh*t and always just tell me they dont carry it or dont make it. They are always full of sh*t.

 

Just tell them you need a clock light bulb. There all
the same. Mabe take out the old one and take it in with you to show them
