That’s how you get that off, I didn’t know there was a screw holding it back. Great vid

[@MCFIXIT]

Thanks for watching. Yeah, that was a bit of a challenge to figure out how to get it off. I knew something was holding it back when i first started taking it apart.

[@JustinSmith-zm2vi]

Great video. Thanks for the tips to make this project happen. I think I would have pulled apart the plastic and not seen the screw behind that tray. Thanks for saving me from doing that!

[@MCFIXIT]

Thanks. Yes, that would have been easy to do!

[@johnking398]

Me too! Very helpful

[@toma.rogers6647]

Yes, i agree. I almos did the same thing!

[@marcusnorton456]

Cool video and thankful for before and after to know it worked

[@MCFIXIT]

Thanks, you are welcome!

[@johnking398]

I agree. So many other KZbinrs cut these parts out!

[@johnwest436]

Great video 👍

[@MCFIXIT]

Thanks for watching!

[@axjohn]

When a guy shows the parts clearly and shows tools needed, I instantly subscribe! I have an 06 Ridgeline with a couple of lamps that need replacing. Now I KNOW. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@MCFIXIT]

Glad it was helpful! Good luck on your project!

[@jamescee9988]

I appreciate the help on doing this. Great instructions!

[@MCFIXIT]

Fantastic. I hope this helps you fix it yourself!

[@thomasrodgers81]

Tip: make sure lights and engine is off. I burned up a new bulb by having it on!

[@MCFIXIT]

Great tip! You can easily burn up a bulb by doing that. Thanks for sharing!

[@johnking398]

Thanks for the before and after videos of this. Often KZbinrs leave this out and you can't tell if they actually solved the problem or not. I appreciate this about your channel. Keep it going!

[@MCFIXIT]

Glad I could help!

[@timbanks4043]

How much were each bulb? Were each the same price. I’ve got two (one upper and one lower) and one of the other

[@MCFIXIT]

At my local Honda dealership's part department, they were $5.99 each. Not really cheap, but do work well.

[@johnbayliss1098]

I started to look at the same issue that you have on a 2007 on my 2,011 I would believe that it's the same issue I'm not sure what I'm going to do is ruin your video and go back again and see if I can get the bulbs from Honda thank you it is absolutely fantastic please stand top of this Honda Ridgeline I truly truly appreciate it thank you and it was an issue that I was definitely having and I want to figure it out also myself thank you

Just changed both of mine so now they light up at night, thanks for the post, made it so easy.

[@MCFIXIT]

You are welcome! Glad to hear it was helpful!

[@debbiejones4860]

Thanks for showing us how to remove those panels!

[@MCFIXIT]

You are welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@jphamilton6987]

Good video. Can you just use the same bulbs in all of the ports?

[@MCFIXIT]

No, they are different voltage. Do not do that or it might burn up the bulb. also the end pieces are different colors due to the color of the switch.

[@johnking398]

@@MCFIXIT Yeah, he's right they are different voltages for each and different colors. Your dealership should have the correct ones. Mine took a few days to come in before I got them.

[@toma.rogers6647]

No, you can't they are different bulbs and much different colors!

[@joebinder2975]

Nope. Much different bulbs in color and voltage. Don't even try it. You can blow a good bulb by doing it.

[@annec.williams4356]

Thanks for the tools list and showing where all the screws are located!

[@MCFIXIT]

You are welcome!

[@ekonig19]

The center bulb just went out in my 2014 Ridgeline, nice video very much appreciated.

[@MCFIXIT]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@jannetwilson4094]

I hate when those small bulbs go out! Thanks for a great instructional video on how to get to them

[@MCFIXIT]

You are welcome!

[@ozzstars_cars]

Nice job with the video!

[@MCFIXIT]

[@NotTheRealTaylorMorrisonhomes]

[@andymccaine794]

Thanks for showing me how to take off the plastic pieces on the console!

[@MCFIXIT]

Glad I could help!

[@kyfsc1276]

Your videos are very well needed, thank you for your service

[@MCFIXIT]

Thanks for watching! Hope you were able to fix your issue with the help of this video!

[@mdbbox5660]

You can replace just the bulb itself without going to Honda. Radio Shack used to sell them, but I've since switched to CEC 7219 miniature lamps. They're a little less than $10 for a pack of 10. Using these bulbs requires pulling the old bulb out of the tiny socket and then transferring the bulb "condom" to the new bulb and twisting the leads around the socket, but they last a good long while. Not too difficult once you've done a couple.

[@MCFIXIT]

Thanks for adding this. I know someone will find this helpful! Sometimes the bulbs are out of stock and this is a good option to do!

[@DSNYSANMAN]

What a disaster removing the first two lower panels. This is the reason I do my own work.

[@johnbayliss1098]

I was wondering if you were going to go through a video on troubleshooting the power seats and where and how it's being fed from what relay and where the relay is the feeds the power seats thank you

[@MCFIXIT]

If I have this issue, I will for sure do a walk through on how to fix it! Sorry I haven’t encountered this before!

[@serelic1]

great video, and awsome work, will try to get 2 bulbs, that are burned in my ridgeline. tks

[@MCFIXIT]

Glad I could help. You can do it! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@bobbreezee4897]

Helpful for the bottom part of dash , thanks , all my dash lights work now , but for the price of them from Honda $8.99 Canadian , I just stole every one I could from scrap yard

[@MCFIXIT]

Thanks for the view and comment. I recommend not stealing them but pulling them and buying them from the junkyard. They are typically pretty cheap there. Today, I noticed that my "low" bulb just went out so I will have to get another bulb. 🤦‍♂️

[@joelsloper530]

I replaced mine with green led looked great so i decided to replace all of them now there all very dim can barley see them also the lcd for the ac no longer lights up headlight switch? Bad adk

[@MCFIXIT]

Where did you get the bulbs from? They might be too high if draw

[@sp3ci4lkpo]

Thanks for this video. I just replaced the left 12v outlet with a dual USB port module for my new head unit. With your help, I was able to skip the "now how do I get this section apart?" step.

[@MCFIXIT]

What brand of dual USB port did you get? I’ve been thinking about doing that there. Was it a good and snug fit? How does it work?

[@Pocketraisins]

I was looking for the same panel removal and found nothing, then stumbled on this! Now I know how to do TWO things when I get my panel off. Thanks for answering a question not asked, lol!

[@Joeybklyn.]

just stopped by new friend very informative,

[@MCFIXIT]

Thanks for watching, I hope this helped to fix your issue on your vehicle!

[@dgriffin6074]

Have you replaced the bulb for the HVAC gauge just above that panel? If so, can you make a video of that? Mine is so dim, it's virtually unreadable.

[@MCFIXIT]

I have not, I’m sorry. Is it the actual display… like the black part? Or is the orangish glow part when your lights are on?

[@dgriffin6074]

@@MCFIXIT It's the gauge face that appears illuminated, but it's so dim as to be useless. Shortly after I purchased the RL (used), a local radio shop installed a new radio. Could they have caused the problem? I don't recall how bright the HVAC display was before I had the Pioneer radio w backup camera installed. BTW, with the new Pioneer sound system it requires 4 different "button " presses to turn the radio off. As Uncle Eddie said in "Christmas Vacation:, " go figure Clark".

[@MCFIXIT]

It might be. I’m not really certain on what they might have done. A lot of those radio places cut/bend wires badly to fit different sized head units in. I’m wondering if the control display is going bad. Also, that’s weird how many button presses it takes to turn off too.

[@monicacortez735]

great video!!

[@takeo2u]

That was excellent!!

[@MCFIXIT]

Thank you!

[@murraymurray6647]

Where can these bulbs be found, especially the middle one, #24 ? Dealer says they can't get them anymore

[@MCFIXIT]

You may want to check online Honda parts stores. They get a lot a parts and I bet you can get it from there or a junk yard.

[@j.wesley674]

Are these the same bulbs as the map light on the roof?

[@MCFIXIT]

No, they are much different

[@lamanamanume]

T3 LED bulbs if you ever need to do it again and wanna save money and have them last forever. Same in the dash, although there are 6 T4s for the HVAC system. In the process of changing all of my interior and dash lights to purple.

[@MCFIXIT]

That’s such great info to have!

[@orlandodizo5097]

How do you put them back?

[@MCFIXIT]

Thanks for writing. It’s the reverse order of uninstalling it. I’ve been getting a lot of negative feedback on taking too long on my videos. So I’ve been doing more like this where it’s just removing and installing the new. I’m guessing you would have me rather show the full reinstall of the switch?

[@toma.rogers6647]

Those bulbs burn out a lot of times together. I'd recommend doing all of them at once if you can afford it at about $6-8 each. Then you should have to touch it for another decade!

[@MCFIXIT]

Yes that can definitely happen. If you have the money to do all six then go for it! I doubt they would do a bulb discount, but yeah it will save you time in the future if you can do all six at once (2 center, 4 top/bottom).
