The instrument panel must be removed to access small bulbs in panel that illuminate.

If you have a manual AC control (not Auto temp control), same answer, the entire panel must be removed to access bulbs or leds.

In both cases, the instrument panel trim must be removed to access the gauge panel or the Heater/AC control panel. A Honda Shop Manual is essential to avoid damaging the plastic parts. Some patience necessary to avoid breaking connectors and snaps that may be tricky to release.

A good emanual can be purchased on ebay for $21.99 or check downloads on this site for download. I think the 98 manual requires mulitple steps to burn a cd first and then download.

good luck
