Follow this thread on how to remove the center console.

Then just replace the bulb that has blown. you will be able to get the correct bulb from a Honda Dealership.

Does anyone know which type of bulbs are required for the fan switches and the three buttons at the bottom?

You will need part number: 39397-SA5-003

I have one here in front of me if anyone needs one.

Be warned though, if you're gonna replace one... replace ALL. I found out the hard way after replacing one, then 2 days later another went. FML.

Its that for the fan switch? or the three buttons at the bottom?

Honda told me they are different and the prices the advisor quoted was too pricey just for one bulb.

Thanks.

If memory serves, the one I have is for the fan switch.

Here's a pic if it helps:

Can you buy them in different colours so the dash lights up a different colour?

sorry to revive this after a while but my local Honda dealer advised that it appeared that there may be only 2 bulbs lighting all 3 rotary dials up - seems daft if that is true as lower fan speed dial is difficult to see in the dark - should there be a separate bulb for the fan speed lowest rotary dial? - advice appreciated

I have a few of these lying around, so:



Yep, two bulbs.

sorry to be thick, but can you/someone circle the bulb locations on the above picture - looks like a bulb on the black housing or is it the other two above? I don't see the sense of only having two as the lower dial is not lit (in my car) when it gets dark - seems a bit stupid to me - wonder if this means I only have one of the 2 bulbs working????

No worries.

In this pic, the left bulb is in place. I removed the right hand bulb and placed it on the black housing, the hole above it is where it lives.



Yes, I think you're right. It sounds like your bulb has blown. Here's a tutorial on how to remove the centre console: http://type-r-owners.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?92877-Centre-console-removal-EP3
