It's not expensive, but it's not cheap for a bulb iirc, can be gotten from Honda.

Just check it again tomorrow as 0 bars and no fuel light is possible.

my fuel light used to start coming on intermitently when theres around 2-1 bars left, this is the 2nd time i've ran down to 0 bars and no light... i've gone and filled up just in case i ran out. im pretty sure the bulbs dead

yeah my fuel light never comes on.
I assume my bulb has gone as it doesn't come on during the startup test. Is that right? Or does it not illuminate before start?

Not really important, but the Devil's in the details Twisted Evil

Work it out from your fuel consumption.....you've got a 60 litre tank and the light should only come on when you've got 9 litres or less....if you fill up and get less than 50litres or so into it, you shouldn't be seeing the light come on anyway.

Mine starts to flash as it sloshes around from 3 bars if I'm driving like a cock, or will not come on at all before all the bars are gone if I'm cruising about sensibly.

*edit* didn't mean to revive this, was searching for threads about dash illumination bulb replacement and replied to this without looking at the date Embarassed

No worries LC, it reminded me that i can't see any of my vent mode control buttons, can anyone confirm they're illuminated when the lights are on?

Well, the UK version, so it's the push buttons for the vent controls.

Yes, that's the very reason I was searching for info...the bulbs behind my temp and fan speed sliders, and the A/C & recirc buttons have gone out one by one over the last few months, but my vent push buttons are still lit.

Need to get a screwdriver out and attack the whole lot and figure out what's needed I guess, as there's nothing definitive on the forum about how to do it.

I know the switch/slider bank comes out separately, what i can't remember is if it can come out without removing the center console.

I really don't want to take mine out again so soon, but it's annoying having so many lights out Sad

Anyone know if it can be done?

Gah, manual says you need to take the front console and the stereo section out Sad

Doesn't detail anything re bulb replacement though.

Sounds like we're in the same boat - I can't be arsed to take my console and radio cage out again either which is why I haven't done it yet, but it looks like it's the only way Laughing
