use a flathead, unscrew 1/2 turn -- get tweezers and pull the bulb out (since you won't be able to take it out with your hands.)

very simple, imo.
now all i have to do is order the damn bulb from Majestic Honda to replace the blown one.
dam..you are quick as hell..thx for the fast reply and your help..i'mma try to do it later today..i was just wondering...in the drawing of the whole assembly of the dash there doesn't really seem to be an opening to take out the bulbs expect at the back, is that where the bulbs are?

also..does anyone know if the buttons can be pulled of easily?

if you look closely at the drawing, you see a recessed hole for the bulb... where the bulb is pointing down. hence i recommend using a pair of tweezers to pull the bulb out.

i got a question:
what the hell do you guys wanna pull the bulbs for???

the reason i did it is because the bulb blew and i need to replace it.
as for those of you who wanna change the color... i really don't think there's a way to do so. like joon and i have said, there should be a filter inside the units itself that changes the color ---> therefore, giving the respected buttons different colors.

speak of the devil.....me and my fren jus swapped the climate control lights to blue this past weekend its very doable....and there is no filter. first off, the buttons themselves that have the symbols for the direction that the air blows are lit up by the bulb that See posted a picture of. the 5 buttons on the right are lit by 1 bulb, and the 3 buttons to the left (rear defrost, circulate, and AC) are lit by another bulb. everything on the lower row is lit by one bulb. the way this works is that they utilize a really ghetto form of fiber optics....basically, the bulb shines into a piece of clear plastic thats shaped to direct light to the back of each button. that is what gives the shapes their off white color. the indicator lights on the top of the button, that is, the light that tells you if its on, are actually individual LEDs. what we did was go and purchase a number of blue LEDs and creatively mount them into the plastic and then proceed to wire them to run off the power that was intended for the small bulb. if i had a camera......i'd take pics. but basically, my climate controls look jus like that guy's cruise control....and the indicator lights are bright blue....its very
