replacing instrument panel light

Hi,

I have 93 Honda Accord. The light that illuminates the gauges went out and I
cannot see them at night (all other lights in the instrument panel are
working). I checked the fuses and they seem to be ok. Does anyone know how
to replace them?

Thanks

You are going to need to pull the console out in order to get behind
it to where the bulbs are located. Depending on how the console is set
up, you'll need to take out 4 or more screws (not sure on your model
how many there are). Get yourself a Helm manual or Hayes manual to
guide you on taking out the console. Make sure to disconnect the
battery so you don't short anything that might trigger the airbag, and
have on hand the stereo code when you reconnect the battery. The bulbs
go for about $2.

The thing that I found is you might have to do this a few times
because when you start shaking the console, it causes other bulbs
which are almost on the way out, to also go out.

Hope this helps
Nick
