Clock Light - 2000 Accord
The light that illuminates the clock in our 2000 Accord is out. Is
replacing this light a DIY project? -- |
Re: Clock Light - 2000 Accord
Definitely. It's very simple. Remove the clock--you'll have to use a
screwdriver to pry right beaneath the clock so it can come out. Once it's out, unplug the wiring. The bulb is VERY SMALL. Simply turn the knob on the back and it will come out. The bulb costs about $10 dollars at the dealership and it's very hard to find elsewhere if even possible. What I did when mine burnt out was use the hazard switch bulb (they're the same) to replace the clock one since I don't need the hazard switch light and I didn't feel like spending $10 on a miniscule piece of glass. I will have to spend it if this one burns out though. Temporary economy you could say ;) --Viktor "Me" <jwest@comcast.net> wrote in message news:yqmdnVVJjbvlw9_dRVn-gw@comcast.com... > The light that illuminates the clock in our 2000 Accord is out.

Re: Clock Light - 2000 Accord
You might want to use a Popsicle stick or tongue depressor instead of a
screwdriver, to minimize the chances of damaging the clock housing. I paid $3 for a new bulb for my '00 Accord's clock. $10 is pretty steep.

Honda wants CDN $10.42 each, last time I asked. If they were available from the DOLLAR Store, they'd be six per pack for a dollar. I just got a few at the wrecker while I was looking for other stuff.
