Accord courtesy bulb replacement
I have a 2004 Accord EX which has a map/courtesy bulb burned out - I guess,
since it doesn't work now how is the lens removed to replace the bulb? just by prying on the lens like I used to do for my Taurus ? and then snap it back in to the grooves after the bulb replacement? while I'm asking about this, I might as well ask if you know the bulb number, although I can probably find that in the book. thanks.

Accord courtesy bulb replacement
well. the BOOK I was referring to was the Owner's Manual - I just went
through it again and the only bulb changing info it shows is for headlights, taillights and side lights (exterior) I know the number is usually on the bulb... but if it's a small bulb, .....

It's unfortunate the owner's manual shows nothing for courtesy light replacement -- unless it's because the work involved isn't user friendly... ? It's certainly not obvious, as I had tried to do the same for my 2004 Accord EX, and couldn't figure it out. Fortunately my dealer's service manager replaced it for free, even though the car's warranty had just recently expired. |

Accord courtesy bulb replacement
Recently I had asked about replacing a clock light. What ended up happening
was that I took the car to the dealer, who replaced the bulb without charging for labor. It cost $2. Perhaps you could try the same thing...

You can pry the lens open with a small screwdriver. |

thanks to everyone who replied - I got the instruction sheet for replacing
the fixture, so it included removing the lens and bulb - I also got the bulb - turns out prying out the lens was the method but I would have tried prying at one of the hinge pins whereas they say to pry at the hinge side.
