Fixed my clock lights! (pics)


Took me forever to get the bezel out, but I got it. Nothing broke.


Here's the bulb. Cost me $4.70 from my local Acura dealer. I didn't even bother getting an estimate for them to do this.


Another view of the dash.


Anybody know what this is?


New bulb on the left, old bulb on the right.


Put everything back together, and it works! When we bought the car it was already out, so this is new to me that the clock light is always on. Now I can tell what time it is all the time lol. Also, my air ducts were dirty as hell. If you end up doing this, I suggest you clean them up a bit too. Cheers.

Nice. I think the stealership charges one hour of labor for this.

my clock light is out also. I am not sure it's because of bulb or circuit. but will try bulb first.

btw, that's BOSE Equalizer, headunit sends audio output to the equalizer, and from it to the amp at the back for subwoofer.

Yeah the bulb is a good place to start. It does take some patience getting the bezel out, took me about 45 minutes. But from what I've read is that some people took the whole thing out, and some didn't have to. I'm sure you'll be fine though. And thanks for the info! Never knew that was back there lol

Haha I mean if you got the cash to blow for someone else to do it, by all means go ahead. At least then if something breaks, they'll be responsible not you.
