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?

 

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...

 

Woa. Do this: http://www.driveaccord.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1240

 

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

 

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 a good pic on that link,very helpful.

the clock is built into the radio on 03-07 accords.






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

 

probably less than $5.00 for them both.

 

Somewhere in that link it has the part nbr. It's under 2 bucks for 2 at radio shack. hondatech: nice diagram!

edit: go radio shack # 7219 12 volts 60mA

 

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