DIY - How To Replace Interior Switch Bulbs For 2003-2007 Honda Accord

[@jameshennighan8193]

Excellent video with a clear explanation of a fairly simple task. One tip....or word of warning that might help others...... Unscrewing the switch from the panel whilst holding it over the open gear lever space is not a good idea. If you rely on the magnetic tip of the screwdriver to hold the screw whilst you lift it clear you can easily come unstuck. Screws tend to like to prove that the laws of gravity exist when doing simple jobs like this.........and as a consequence when the screw falls down into the shift lever housing you spend another fifteen minutes trying to find it. Sometimes the job can become really exciting and you have to dismantle more of the panels surrounding the shift lever because the screw will have fallen somewhere it can't easily be seen. A magnetic dish is always a good thing to have handy to store screws when they are removed.....and are fairly cheap to buy. Once you have one you will wonder how you ever managed without one....! At a minimum, put a cloth or towel over the open gear lever space......or put the panel on your knee and away from the open space whilst removing the screws....... Just a sayin'...................

Great video. Another (less wordy) suggestion. After replacing the burned out bulb(s) I would recommend plugging the switch back to the electrical harness before any reassembly to verify a complete circuit that works.

My bulb is out for sunroof 07 accord. Someone said I don’t have to remove bottom panel but reach my arm up and push it out. Can you tell me the basic steps. I want to try it myself

[@shafi420]

How much did it cost you for the bulb from the dealer?

[@Michael_Lorenson]

Excellent, thanks!

[@onurarslan3689]

Thank you, can you tell me bulb type? Is this t3 or t4?

[@cifrancgx]

Thanks for this! I have a 2004 Acura TSX (sold outside of North America as a Honda Accord Euro R) and the switches are the same. I just need to order the bulbs for my driver and passenger side seat heater switches. Both blue ones went out a while back and the green one for the driver side HIGH setting went out. My Sunroof and VSA switches also went out and I need to replace those. Do you know how the VSA and and Sunroof switches are removed?

I replaced all of my 1995 Prelude switch lights for under twenty dollars. I rebuilt mine.

Test the new bulb before putting everything back together by reconnecting it...

[@tc96z1]

I just made the same comment before reading down this far. Lol

Thank you!!!

[@ANGELSURS]

part number would help

[@tbote]

I went to honda and they said the dont sell the bulbs. Only the whole switch itself. What a rip off! Going to try amazon or ebay

[@IRWAutomotive]

Eric Lopez That’s weird. My local dealer had to order the part since they didn’t stock it, but it arrived overnight and they didn’t try to sell me the whole switch.

[@ericka.6229]

@@IRWAutomotive yeah, they also ordered it for me, cost $7 at Honda of Tenafly....... However I fixed the bad one and then the good one went immd bad, smh

10 bucks for the bulb at Acura for a 04 tsx. Although the wiring for the switch is super short, cant pull all the way up for removal. Makes it more fun!
