Hi guys. Please, can some body help me with my problem? Lights on a steering wheel went down. I went to acura dealership and they told me that they can fix it, but it's going to be around 500$ O_o!!! I heard a lot that it is not very hard to unassemble the steering wheel and change the bulbs (which cost 2$ each), but the reason I'm asking you for help I'm really scared to disconnect the airbag (don't ask why, just scary). Can somebody provide step by step instruction how to disconnect the airbag and unassemble steering wheel? Video would be much helpful!!! Thank you for your help!

That is Acura TL 2004)

Please check the garage, there is a pretty detailed description with photos on how to remove it.

I tackled these lightbulbs on my own, trust me I was nervous also but once you disconnect the cable that connects to the airbag yours safe, PLACE the AIRBAG ON SOMEWHERE Cushiony. lol

I just took my airbag inside and put it on my bed.

I did it without removing the airbag, you need some force to move it out after unscrew the button box from the back
