I'm new to all of this so it might be a silly question. How many bulbs will I need to change the cluster bulbs in my 2005 Honda Accord?

 

Welcome to the forum.

The lighting of the gauges are principally SMD (surface mount devices) LEDs that are soldered in. A few people have changed them before; but, not recommended for a beginner without a little soldering skill with SMD type components; the gauge control module (aka instrument cluster) is not cheap to replace if you damage it, and have to have the odometer reading reprogrammed with Honda's Diagnostic System (HDS).

SMD type LEDs are even smaller than the typical LEDs you may be use to seeing.

 

Thank you! I know someone who can do this for me, I was just wondering since I need to order the bulbs how many there are! I don't think id attempt to do this myself without knowing how haha.

 

They are not bulbs per se; you would have to open up the gauge control module to see how many LEDs and the size/type of SMD LEDs that you may have to replace to change the lighting.

 

You'll need 16 plcc-2 surface mount LEDs. The person in this link used blue LEDs.
