Clock Light

[accord98lx]

Does the 98 accord dash clock above the AC controls suppose to light up whenever turning on the headlights?? If so...how do I replace the bulbs in there? And what size are they. Thanks

[DjFrost]

Oh.................I need an answer to that question as well (~_^)........I had my ride for about 8 months but the clock light never worked for me...........but I think it should light up......anyway I need answer to that question as well.........

Good question... I'm a little lost here. Shouldn't the clock always light up... as in display the time? :confused:

[ebpda9]

no it's more like the old electronic watches witout a backlit display. it's not luminescent like in the 4th and 5th gen accords

could be an EX thing, try asking your local dealer....

if you're unable to see the time at night, then there definately is a problem.. just stating the obvious..

[DjFrost]

This sux.........I tought I was the only one with the clock problem........since I bought my car with a little damage and I tought it caused the clock not to work............I took my friends 2000 Coupe Accord for a spin few times and his clock lighted up.................This clock problem is driving me nuts (when driving at night)...........but beside that I love my ride ;)

[accord98lx]

I just want to know how to replace the bulbs..what size is it and how do I get into the clock stock light?? Im not in any hurry to fix it because thank god,...my cd alpine HU has a clock on it.....And If I can get to the stock bulb..who knows..I might change it blue!!

[ifeldwn02]

i poped mine out to see, theres a light on the right top corner when u pull the clock out but i dont know what size it is

[94_AcCoRd_EX]

Either buy a helms manual for your car, or just call honda for the bulb size.

[accord98lx]

How did you popped it out??? with a screwdriveer?? I tried to pop mines off but it wouldnt budge...I didnt wanted to break anything.

[ifeldwn02]

get a small screwdriver go on to the bottom left corner u might have to play with it the 1st time but it will pop out a little then just work ur way across the bottom till it pops out

dont worry because i had to put some pressure on it but i came out in one peice

[accorddust]

anyways about the clock YES the clock is suppost to light up at night even with the headlightd off that how it is on my care 98 accord .. and if u wanna change the bulb u can do an LED but u need to use a resistor for the LED dont just put the LED in it will Blow out LATEr............http://us.f1.yahoofs.com/users/f17d399c/bc/lock+001.jpg?bcMyZS.A_RsHAKYi
