Are you referring to dome lights or button backlight.

Dome lights don't go out much, but I just don't want to assume what you mean so let's clarify.

i recommend changing all of them at once, since this isnt a project you want to do multiple times

OP, If you are up for the task, I'd recommend replacing at least the climate control ones for Neo Wedge LED's. They are just plug and play. I'm happy with it. You can get a 10 pack on ebay for $12.




Here's the pic!

Mexican market TL. I'm used to all in metric except the tire pressure. I have always used PSI so reading it as kPa now is a challenge :P

The ONLY reason that's stopping me from doing the T3 Neo wedge LEDs is the fact that not all buttons are T3, some are soldered. The ones that are soldered are the one in the overhead console, the radio, the lighting on the dor panel (window switch, memory, etc). I don't have the skills or patience to solder them, so that's why I never bothered.

My fan control light has died, as well as memory position 1 light...strange. Must be a Honda thing as my Dad's 2005 Pilots fan control lights burnt out too

Thanks for that pic Joryramosn! Yours must be an 07? I dont know if I have that airbag light next to the flasher sign. I am definitely getting those LED wedges. I bought a new old stock center display off ebay for $135. Dealer wants new over $1000 AND without the side buttons. Also, my old display does not light up the amber dot when the defrost is pushed. That's one of those bastard soldered in lights. So after I get the new one, I will try to fix my old one and keep it for a spare

I've tried a few of these led's. The only thing is that at night it gets a little too bright and you really cant dim them. I only changed out the trunk release, dimmer switch, select reset, seat heater, hazard switch, and vsa switch.
