That’s how you get that off, I didn’t know there was a screw holding it back. Great vid

Thanks for watching. Yeah, that was a bit of a challenge to figure out how to get it off. I knew something was holding it back when i first started taking it apart.

Tip: make sure lights and engine is off. I burned up a new bulb by having it on!

You can replace just the bulb itself without going to Honda. Radio Shack used to sell them, but I've since switched to CEC 7219 miniature lamps. They're a little less than $10 for a pack of 10. Using these bulbs requires pulling the old bulb out of the tiny socket and then transferring the bulb "condom" to the new bulb and twisting the leads around the socket, but they last a good long while. Not too difficult once you've done a couple.

Thanks for the view and comment. I recommend not stealing them but pulling them and buying them from the junkyard. They are typically pretty cheap there. Today, I noticed that my "low" bulb just went out so I will have to get another bulb. 🤦‍♂️

I started to look at the same issue that you have on a 2007 on my 2,011 I would believe that it's the same issue I'm not sure what I'm going to do is ruin your video and go back again and see if I can get the bulbs from Honda thank you it is absolutely fantastic please stand top of this Honda Ridgeline I truly truly appreciate it thank you and it was an issue that I was definitely having and I want to figure it out also myself thank you

You may want to check online Honda parts stores. They get a lot a parts and I bet you can get it from there or a junk yard.

Have you replaced the bulb for the HVAC gauge just above that panel? If so, can you make a video of that? Mine is so dim, it's virtually unreadable.

@MCFIXIT

I have not, I’m sorry. Is it the actual display… like the black part? Or is the orangish glow part when your lights are on?

@@MCFIXIT It's the gauge face that appears illuminated, but it's so dim as to be useless. Shortly after I purchased the RL (used), a local radio shop installed a new radio. Could they have caused the problem? I don't recall how bright the HVAC display was before I had the Pioneer radio w backup camera installed. BTW, with the new Pioneer sound system it requires 4 different "button " presses to turn the radio off. As Uncle Eddie said in "Christmas Vacation:, " go figure Clark".

@MCFIXIT

It might be. I’m not really certain on what they might have done. A lot of those radio places cut/bend wires badly to fit different sized head units in. I’m wondering if the control display is going bad. Also, that’s weird how many button presses it takes to turn off too.

Are these the same bulbs as the map light on the roof?

No, they are much different

Those bulbs burn out a lot of times together. I'd recommend doing all of them at once if you can afford it at about $6-8 each. Then you should have to touch it for another decade!

Yes that can definitely happen. If you have the money to do all six then go for it! I doubt they would do a bulb discount, but yeah it will save you time in the future if you can do all six at once (2 center, 4 top/bottom).
