interior lighing
 

i have only had my accord (1998 EX) for a little while now and i would just like to know, are the clock and odometer supposed to light up at night and if they arent, what is the best way to illuminate them?

RE: interior lighing
 

they both should.... The odometer is probably a burnt out bulb (if all the other lights work) and the clock is a part of the radio isn't it? If so you may either need to get a new deck, tear apart the system (if you're good with electronics) or replace the stock stereo...

which year was it that had the clock built into the radio and required a new radio? Or am I thinking of something else....

RE: interior lighing
 

Iv got a seperate clock and radio so the bulb fix for the clock will be good. can someone direct me to a place where i can buy the bulbs and a way to take my dash out to replace the odometer light.

that's the bulb in red. you can buy both bulbs(ask them for a clock light bulb and anodometer bulb, print this out if you have to) at thedealer.

wow thank you very much for your help, but can i buy the bulbs anywhere besides a dealer, i dont want to be charged an arm and a leg for them

RE: interior lighing
 

probably less than $5.00 for them both.

actually, the bulb for the odometer is rated at 14V 1.4w on a random parts site...interesting.
