    Hi, Just removed the clock from the dash, removed the plastic cover and
    now have the green 'computer' board facing me... (Initial problem-
    light doesnt work on clock). Where is the clock bulb located? I see a
    part that says 11, 47, 25v.. Is that the bulb? or will that control
    the emergency flasher???
    Please help
    Thanks

    My manual is for a 1999, but I assume they are the same. The clock
    back light is integral to the clock. The lamp is a 0.7 watt LED, and
    is powered from pin 1 on the clock. That pin is fed with a yellow
    wire from the fuse/relay box. If you can find the yellow wire in the
    5-pin connector, then trace that to the LED, you will have found it.

    The Hazard Warning switch is connected to a 10-pin connector (only 8
    used.) The clock is on a 5-pin connector. The two aren't related.
    The Hazard switch is just using the clock face as a place to hold it.

    Ijust replaced the lamp in 2000 SE. It was on the left end on the board
    as you face the clock. If you pull the clock module out and turn it 90
    DEgrees, it is the little round plastic button with a screwdriver slot.
    Turn the button, out comes the lamp insert new lamp, turn button the other
    way and insert clock module. that's all was there was to it. I didn't
    ever have to deconnect anything. Hope this helps.

    I was able to put the bulb into the clock. The light came on... I then
    put the headlights on to see if the light on the clock would work,I
    noticed that when I put the headlights on the light on the clock goes
    dimmer....is that suppose to be like that? I thought when you would put
    headlights on the light would go brighter, as one would need more light
    to see the time....Again, with no headlights on, light is on clock,
    with headlights light is on, but dimmer

    It is normal for the dash lights to dim when you turn on the headlamps
    so it won't blind you at night. Don't remember how my '99 worked, but
    on my '03 you can turn the odometer reset knob and turn the dash lamps
    back to normal if you have the headlamps on during the day time.

    At night it's darker, remember? If the clock light were *brighter* in the
    dark, it would appear TOO bright within the surrounding blackness, and so
    therefore they dim the clock. Honda has done this since at least 1990.
