Default how to replace a bulb under the dash?

It looks like a bulb under my speedometer is out. The manual doesn't mention anything about changing a bulb under the dash. Does anyone have any experience or can point me in the right direction about how to replace a bulb under the dash?

Thank you!

Sorry about that...2000 Honda Accord 2-dr EX.

Its the higher RPM numbers and the lower speeds on the speedometerthat are dim as if a bulb is burnt out.

I believe in our DIY section is a writeup in instrument guage cluster replacement. I'd look through that and it should show you how to remove it and then you just need to replace the bulb

I searched for "instrument gauge" and "instrument cluster" in the DIY Section and got zero results.

Thanks! That is definitely good information! Now I know how to get out the dashboard section.

The link also says: "The 7th Gen Accord has LED soldered to the circuit and its hard to change the bulbs." Do you know if that's the same scenario for 6th generation Accords? I searched the forums but didn't get any results regarding how the bulbs are attached to the circuit board. Do you know how the bulbs are attached to the circuit board?
