THANK YOU Anthony -- great tip and so excellently presented.

Can anyone tell me how to to get at the bulbs behind the speedo? On my T5 the clock light has gone (like the radio) but I don't know how to reach it.

sells these for $1.19 each

I saw this excellent article in May but haven't fixed the bulbs because I've been to lazy to go to the Honda dealership near my house. (Truth be told, it is not really near anything I normally go to and I have a hard time justifying the drive to pick up a $10 item.)

But, thanks to gutnick, I can now get this done! Thanks for the link! Woo-woo!!

THANKS FOR THE HELP. DOES THIS REPAIR INCLUDE THE 1-6 STATION
SELECTION LIGHTS? MY 4-6 SIDE IS NOT LIT. MY PROFESS MECH FRIEND SAYS DON'T BOTHER. IT APPEARS WITH THE NUMBER OF
BULBS SHOWN - THIS SHOULD BE CURED BY REPLACING A BULB ON THAT
SIDE ONLY?

Yes, it cures that. My whole right side was out...now I see all 6 channels (station) lights. Your friend might say not to bother but it's an easy 10-15 minute procedure and very cheap fix if you ask me. Because of the way my radio was wired in I couldn't take it out of the car so all of my repair work was done totally in the car. Works perfectly now!

I am not an auto mechanic at all and I also cannot afford to bring my car to a mechanic/dealership to fix everything that goes wrong with my car so I am EXTREMELY greatlful for sites like this one. FREE, DETAILED instructions with PICTURES and for FREE? It's almost unbelivable!

Also, coming online and asking for detailed instructions is a lot easier and more resourcesul for me as a female than going to a qualified mechanic in person and asking how to fix something.

Thank you a million times over!

I'm new to this forum but what an excellent web site very valuable and useful info.
Anyway I replaced one of the bulbs that burnt out on my radio according to the instructions found on this site, however the LCD display still does not light up. I cannot see what station the radio is set to, and its driving me nuts. Is there another bulb somewhere on the board?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
