    Anyone know of a site that sells twist type bulbs/lamps for the dash
    instrumentation on a Honda Accord 2000 UK spec.

    Last resort is my Honda Dealer

    Thanks

    If they're the same as a '98, the actual lamp pulls straight out of the
    black plastic 'twist base' and closely resembles the bulb of a mercury
    (oral) thermometer. Same lamp has been used in Volvo dashes for about 20
    years.

    An auto supply store should fix you up for about 25% of what Honda
    wants. China probably sells them to America for $0.23 each

    I replaced my dash light on my civic 93 one year ago. I first went to a
    local car parts dealer. He said he didn't had bulbs that could replace the
    one that honda used. He also said that honda whas the onley supplier for the
    specified bulb. The local honda dealer wanted to charge me ?15.- for a bulb,
    so i went out "experimenting" with other bulbs en found out that the you kan
    pull the bulb out off the (braun / black) socket en simply can replace the
    bulb with another bulb that you can by at evrey part shop / gas station.
