Default 00 Accord Clock backlight is out. How to change it?


Is there a light bulb in that thing that I can change? or do I have to change the whole clock?

the 6th gens should have a peanut bulb or 2 behind the clock somewhere... u could replace them with LED's if you want. u cant do the same for the 4th gens.. u would need a new clock.

just pop the clock out with a small screwdriver and replace the bulb behind it.
you may have to pop out the hazard switch to get to it but i forget....good luck!

I changed mine like last week, pop out the clock by prying at it from below the clock, then look on the back you will see a small black screw like looking thing, twist that out and replace it. I did it on mine and now it works.

On a side note mine doesn't dim anymore ? I cant remember if the clock light is supposed to dim with the rest of the gauges, anybody know if it does ? and what guess what may be wrong ?
