Default 97 accord 4 door dash door open lights

97 accord lx v6 4 door
When I get in and turn the key on, all the lights light up on the dash except the passenger side door open light

When I open the passenger door, the dome light does come up, but the red door light on the dash does not. All other red door/trunk lights work fine.

Is this a single bulb that I can replace, or how exactly would I fix this?

Thanks

It is possible to replace the small bulb which illuminates the door open lens. However, the gauge panel must be removed, which requires removal of trim bezel around the gauge panel. Easy to damage the plastic trim if you're not careful.

See DIY forum and youtube for videos for guidance. Here is one example.

The risk/reward ratio here is not favorable.

The tiny bulb is available from Honda parts or online at many sources. Some swap bulbs from seldom used symbols (1, 2, D3 trans bulbs).

good luck

Thanks for the reply. So there is a bulb for each door symbol on the dash?
