REMINDER: Be sure to unplug the wiring harness from the clock module
first. I did not, when I was "helping" a friend. If you use a metal
screwdriver to unscrew the bulb, it will touch the metal leads on the
bulb and short it out.
Avoid this problem by simply taking a few extra seconds to unplug the
harness first.
Also, I obtained the same exact part # from West Broad Honda dealer in
Richmond; I call their toll free number, 800-446-0160, and they ship
to me in TN. On a 10/20/03 invoice, the list price shown is $1.52 and
they sold them to me for $1.11 @. Interesting your dealer charged you
twice the list price!
Where are you located? What dealer was it? I don't want to order from
them.
