The light that illuminates the clock in our 2000 Accord is out. Is
replacing this light a DIY project?

--

 

Definitely. It's very simple. Remove the clock--you'll have to use a
screwdriver to pry right beaneath the clock so it can come out. Once it's
out, unplug the wiring. The bulb is VERY SMALL. Simply turn the **** on the
back and it will come out. The bulb costs about $10 dollars at the
dealership and it's very hard to find elsewhere if even possible. What I did
when mine burnt out was use the hazard switch bulb (they're the same) to
replace the clock one since I don't need the hazard switch light and I
didn't feel like spending $10 on a miniscule piece of glass. I will have to
spend it if this one burns out though. Temporary economy you could say

You might want to use a Popsicle stick or tongue depressor instead of a
screwdriver, to minimize the chances of damaging the clock housing.

I paid $3 for a new bulb for my '00 Accord's clock. $10 is pretty steep.

==================

Those bulbs, which look almost EXACTLY like the bottom end of a (oral)
thermometer, are used in LOTS of foreign cars, even Volvos back 25
years, so they must be available thru third-party suppliers. Honda wants
CDN $10.42 each, last time I asked. If they were available from the
DOLLAR Store, they'd be six per pack for a dollar. I just got a few at
the wrecker while I was looking for other stuff.
