Honda Accord 8th Gen Shift Bulb Replacement

In this video we replace the shift bulb in the 2010 Honda Accord. It not an easy access bulb, but is not as bad to get to as it first seems. I did go further in the disassembly of the console to show more detail of the bulb replacement. If you can get to yours without taking the cover off then you will not have to do the step of removing the shift handle. Hope you find the video helpful and thanks for watching!

Thank you, this was super helpful in that you showed exactly where to pull out & plug the bulb back in. I appreciate you taking the time to make and upload this!

[@SK-fv9lk]

Great video, videos like this are absolutely invaluable. I know you won’t get a ton of views so I just wanted to say I really appreciate what you do

[@ThriftyToolShed]

Thanks for your kind comment!

[@judymowatt3904]

Thank you! This was very helpful and I was able to change the bulb myself and save a lot of money. What I couldn't figure out was how you removed the knob in the gear shift. I couldn't get the darn thing off.

I installed LED headlights on my 2011 Accord in now the passenger side turn signal is hyper flashing and the DRL light is on the dashboard. Any suggestions on how to fix these two issues? Thank You

[@ThriftyToolShed]

Are you sure the blinker bulb is good and making a good connection? Something could have happened to them while changing and putting the LEDs in. I have known LED bulbs to draw less current so the flasher thinks the bulb is burned out and blinks fast to let you know. I was not aware that the head lights could cause the blinker to do that. Usually it's the blinker bulbs that have caused it. Not sure if related, but if you put the old ones back in and the problem goes away you will know. I believe they make some LEDs with resistive loads added to help with some of the above issues. Some are also designed to work with CAN bus on some vehicles.

Nice. Thanks!!

[@jimmie5359]

Thanks

[@breadwatson20]

I replaced the bulb on my 2011 and it still doesn't light up. Any suggestions on what I can do next?? Thanks

[@ThriftyToolShed]

Does the other interior lights (like radio and guage cluster backlighting) come on when the headlights are turned on?

[@breadwatson20]

Yes they do​@@ThriftyToolShed

[@ThriftyToolShed]

Looks like you would have to trace the wires down far enough to make sure they are not damaged in any way or pulled out from another connector. If that is fine, you would have to find and follow a wiring diagram to see where the power is fed from. I did not have to go that far with mine. Best of luck to ya!

[@breadwatson20]

Thank You for Your help, much appreciated

[@Brocko2891]

My bulb lights up but doesn't illuminate each letter when I shift?

[@armandoluna4524]

[@hgfdksk17]
