As a 54 year old woman with 500,237 km...you sure have saved me! Ty! I have never attempted anything like this before and I did it! Thank you. Thank you. I had to find out exactly how many bulbs but you are so calm and thorough. I appreciate it so much. My van is lit and my confidence boosted! Hoping to make it 600,000 km! Whoop!
Thanks! Just replaced the bulbs in my 2002 Odyssey...without the help of your video, it would have taken a lot longer and there would have been a lot more cuss words involved! Thanks again for taking the time to make this!
Good job. Thanks for making the video. That was pretty funny in the beginning when you removed the first panel when you said it makes life a lot easier to take apart the dashboard to get to the lamps! LOL When I was preparing to replace the stereo in my Element, I bought a set of three very thick plastic tools on eBay that are made for taking apart Honda dashboards. I think the set cost me about $3.50 and shipping was free. May be worth looking into for next time so you don't risk scratching your silverware. I never even used them on my Element. I had no idea it was so easy to get to the stereo. I had it completely finished in about eight minutes. I'm not looking forward to replacing the lamps in my wife's Odyssey, though! Oh, also, the Molex connectors (the multi-wire plastic connectors that plug into the panel) are usually easy to remove with a very small flat-tip screwdriver under the connector.
This is just the video I needed to see. I have watched a few others, but this one gave me the confidence to take on the task. It went extremely smooth. Definitely recommend disconnecting the electrical connections on the switches. It made accessing the screws much easier. Thank you and your fantastic camera man for a job well done. Much appreciated. My wife is also much happier now that she can read her gas gauge at night.
+Richard Glass I forgot to mention. Harbor freight sells nylon tools for removing automotive panels and dash parts. Leave no marks and only cost a few for the kit. Here is the link. www.harborfreight.com/nylon-pry-bar-installer-kit-4-pc-69668.html
I can’t believe after all this time only one person commented that this is the wrong way to remove the dash and they weren’t even sure themselves. That black rectangle to the left of the radio exists solely to remove the dash. Way way way faster than this explanation as it is the intended method.
Thanks for this! Just changed lights in my 03 Odyssey. Used a dull butter knife to pry off covers. Found also that gearshift in the way so had to put car into 1 to have enough room. Was on a slight incline so had to keep foot on brake while car not in P. Also raising and lowering steering wheel helped. Wish I had the right bulb for clock while it was all apart and accessible. Took me about an hour. Really appreciate your video. Thanks again!
jeannebean99 Your van doesn’t have an “emergency” brake (aka hand or parking brake)? I’ve seen several cars pop out of gear while they were parked on inclines. One was locked and rolled backwards down the hill and into a bus in the middle of an intersection! This was the second time I’d seen it happen myself. I started using my hand brake 100% of the time. Since then I’ve read news reports of people being killed when they were pinned between something (a garage door for example) and their car. They said the driver hadn’t made sure it was in gear, but I don’t believe that. I think they didn’t use their parking brake and relied solely on the gearbox to prevent the car from moving. This was a bad judgment call made from lack of information about the critical role of parking brakes in preventing injury or death. PLEASE use your parking brake EVERY time you park so you get into the habit and it’s engaged when you need it most!
Tip for the radio panel. Use a small screwdriver to pop out the blank, and use your fingers to pull it off. It pops off in less than 3 seconds. Then disconnect light harness and the thermostat. Start to finish is under a minute.
Great video. FYI, these are standard incandescent bulbs, not halogen. The silver appears in the old bulb when it has burned out. Keep up the good work!
thanks bro it's very help full video and ooo don't forget my spacel thanks Mr Camara man he really. did good shot thanks body one day you will get camera man job😊😊
For the bottom panel (where the radio and climate control stuff is) I saw another video where the guy just used a tool (screwdriver/spatula) to pop out the small rectangle on the left of the radio, then he put his fingers into that hole and just pulled the whole thing out in one yank! Might be easier ... so look up Honda Odyssey Radio removal for that. Another guy put his fingers behind the panel at the left (behind shifter) and yanked .... same effect!
I have a Honda Odyssey 2003, the problem I have is just the light indicator for "D". Everything is working just fine. I tried to replace the bulb but it still doesn't solved the problem. What else could it be.
My dash lights still works on my 2004 Oddy but Just curious if can get them brighter if I replace with fresh bulbs. Only thing is, it's a lot of work to replace and find out the new bulbs arn't any brighter.
just put in the key to on, put the speed handle all the way to 1, under the ac button there's an empty button cap put a flat screw driver to open it, pull it out then on the empty space put your fingers and pull the whole case out is going to come out right away.
Great video!! Quick question -- how does one know which bulb is for the "D" gear position? It's out on my car and many others, and I read this on a forum: "That bulb is a hard wired bulb, and unless you have a very steady hand and are good with a solder iron, replace the cluster." What does "replace the cluster" mean? I also read that there is a section of the back of that panel that has five bulbs (one for each gear position) and the "D" goes out most often. Are those hard to replace individually? I'm a bit confused.
My dash light are working but when i turn my headlights on at night the dash or the interior instrument lights dont turn on... can you help. I know the dash lights work because when i unlock the car i see them flicker with the alarm being deactivated
No, you have to remove the circuit board. Some people use the D1 bulb and use it to replace the burned out D4 bulb. There is another video that show how to access the circuit board.
Is it my imagination or does the temp gauge appear to be not as bright as the other three gauges? If so, I'm wondering what the correct bulb is for that application. I think you used the 158LL. Anybody with factory original bulbs in their van see a difference in the brightness of the temp gauge?
Easier way is take out the auxiliary switch that doesnt have anything on it next to the shifter with a flathead. Then put 2 fingers in the hole and pull it off with no force at all. This guy is doing more damage then neccessary
Does anyone know which of the different bulbs is for which light on the 2002 Ody EXL (Navi)? Someone mentioned a different speedometer bulb, which doesn't seem to make sense.
Still rocking my 04 Odyssey. 350,000 kms. Thanks for the video.
You just used a pie server as a trim removal tool and stayed so calm!!! Thank you for the helpful video man!
Bro's speech is majestic 🗿🍷
Its so calm and relaxing
Great Job and perfectly explained step by step and your son did an amazing job as well. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

Wow that's a lot of work excellent video I may now have the confidence to do mines instead of me saying "I don't need no lights" lol

works just as well for '00-'10 Odyssey's, nice post, thanks!
Great video! If you will drop the steering column down it will give you more room to get the instrument cluster out easier.
Great video. FYI, these are standard incandescent bulbs, not halogen. The silver appears in the old bulb when it has burned out. Keep up the good work!
Awesome video. You saved me time and money. Thank you very much!
Great job. Thanks for you effort. Now, I will get mine fixed. Thanks again.
Very good video. Thank you very much
thanks bro it's very help full video and ooo don't forget my spacel thanks Mr Camara man he really. did good shot thanks body one day you will get camera man job😊😊
I thank you for your video work !! I need to do this some time.
Thank you for uploading and sharing!
Nice Eddie Murphy vibe going. Helpful video.
Remove the connection to the cabin light switch on the far right of the first panel you remove and that entire panel will drop forward
Very helpful. Thanks so much!
I have replace those lights same way like you did but my clusteer lights did not works. Any idea what should went wrong..
For the bottom panel (where the radio and climate control stuff is) I saw another video where the guy just used a tool (screwdriver/spatula) to pop out the small rectangle on the left of the radio, then he put his fingers into that hole and just pulled the whole thing out in one yank!

+Naruto uzumaki on another video it recommends check fuse, 7.5 volt, slot 9 , Passenger side
Man! All of that for dashboard lights!? God damn!
My dash lights still works on my 2004 Oddy but Just curious if can get them brighter if I replace with fresh bulbs. Only thing is, it's a lot of work to replace and find out the new bulbs arn't any brighter.
Which bulbs did you use out of the 3..looking to replace the dash area you posted.
just put in the key to on, put the speed handle all the way to 1, under the ac button there's an empty button cap put a flat screw driver to open it, pull it out then on the empty space put your fingers and pull the whole case out is going to come out right away.
gracias!!! buenísimo! !!
Great Job body
nice job, you should have also done the clock light bulb was the dash was apart.
Great video!! Quick question -- how does one know which bulb is for the "D" gear position?

will this take care of the D" drive indicator mine is not illuminating and all others are good suspect bulb?
No, you have to remove the circuit board. Some people use the D1 bulb and use it to replace the burned out D4 bulb. There is another video that show how to access the circuit board.

Do you think led bulbs will work?
What is the number dashboard turn signal bulb.
74. 2721. 158. which one is it ?
I have a 2003 Honda odyssey.
Please answer for me. Thank you

Did you ever get this figured out? I have the same problem
Great video. You forgot to change the clock light.
Can you please write in the description all sizes and type of bulb and I'll give you a like right away
Donations graciously appreciated. Help to pay for cameraman's college.
Thanks!
good job !
what bulb sizes are they?
Yes, a list of # of bulbs and part numbers would be very helpful.
u for got clock light
Good jop 👍🏻👍🏻
I hate this about my Honda ... the dash lights burn out ... my [D] for Drive light is out.
Turn on the ignition and drop the gearshift down and out of the way!
Easier way is take out the auxiliary switch that doesnt have anything on it next to the shifter with a flathead. Then put 2 fingers in the hole and pull it off with no force at all. This guy is doing more damage then neccessary
