Picked up my new ride yesterday and found the clock lights to be utter crap. Never had this problem before with a Honda.
Sure I've read on hear somewhere about changing the bulbs for LEDs I think but can't find it now. Anybody remember this or know how and which bulbs to use?
Cheers.

Luminous dials sounds good but to technical for me. I should be able to fit new bulbs though. Cheers Ian.
P.S. The fitting is the same I take it, putting them the wrong way won't damage them, and they don't overheat melt the dials?

LED's are polarised - unlike normal bulbs - no damage caused by inserting wrong way - they just dont work.

Is it an analogue dash ? - i believe the digital dash has surface mount led's.

Thanks again guys, your all so good here.
Why o why would honda fit 7 bulbs of 1 type and 2 of another type in the same place, the mind boggles.
