Yes it's easy to replace the bulbs.
Order the bulbs and replace them.

The hard part is getting to the bulb lol

You may end up wanting to replace all the bulbs back there once it's apart.

we all do.

sddale is saying that once you have everything apart...might as well replace ALL the bulbs so that you won't have to mess with it again.

what if you replace just the few that are burned out and then reinstall everything and then 2 months later your "setup/menu" buttons burn out?

there is a parts list somewhere on the forum that shows all the part numbers for each bulb. if you can't find it, just ask your honda/acura dealer for a parts list or go to oemacuraparts.com and search the diagrams.

I just replaced my bulbs yesterday in my nav unit. Easy? Eh, not so much. I felt like the removal of the radio/nav was a pain. After that it got easier. Instead of using Acura replacement bulbs ($4-$6 a pop) I used Radioshack bulbs, $1 a pop. Part number: 272-1092 all works great now.

I have the same problem. I remember how much of a pain it was getting everything apart to install my iPod interface. It's not hard, just a hassle so I keep putting it off.

Why didn't Acura use LEDs instead of bulbs?
