Default Need to change a bulb

Can anybody give me an idea of where to look on the back of the instrument cluster for the D4 bulb? I need to change it on my wife's car as it recently burned out (the rest are fine). Do I need to remove the "board" on the back to access it first? TIA.

Here are some pix of the front and back of the instrument cluster for this generation.


After removing it from the car, you would probably need to pop out the back cover and remove the electronic board. I had to google the "D4 bulb" to understand what it was, and I believe D4 bulbs are those tiny bulbs attached directly to the board.

Pics no worky. But I think you answered my question. After I get back from the lawyer friday, I'll dig into it and see IF they're replaceable.
Thanks for the reply.

On a 6th gen Accord, there is no need to remove the PCB from the cluster to replace the transmission gear indicator bulbs. They are accessible after removing the cluster.

Thank You. That's a big help. It looks like it uses the smaller bulbs too, which means I might have a spare here to put in it. Thanks for the help.
