It seems that the odometer light on my 98 Accord has gone out. How is this?
I thought it was an LED. Interestingly, my radio (non-Honda) has also lost
most of its LED backlight. Also, a couple years ago my cruise-control LED
on the button went out.

So, what's the deal with LEDs? They just go out after 4-5 years? And how
much dinero would it cost to have the odometer light fixed, assuming I
wanted to bother with it?

I don't know about the other lights, but the small light on the cruise
control button in my 99 Accord quit working too. I wonder how wide spread
this is?

I don't know, but mine was replaced under warranty. As for my odometer
light, my car is now WAY out of warranty, so I'll just have to live with it
probably.

My cruise control button LED went out as well about a year ago on my 99
Accord as well. It was replaced and no problems since then.

Cheers,
