Bulbs fit 2008 Pilot EX-L climate controlled night lights

Bulbs fit my unit well. The three images show the most important transitions in the installation. The drawing on the far left shows the inside of the air conditioner. The 6 lamp bases are brown round discs with small slits in the middle. (You don't need to remove the handle from the front of the device, although you can see it in the picture. You also don't need to remove the bezel from the device. Just unscrew the back of the device.) Turn each of the dials counter-clockwise (with a small, flat blade screwdriver) to loosen them, and then remove them. The new bulb is inserted into the hole and locked in place by turning it clockwise. The photo in the middle shows the removal of the air conditioning control unit after removing the entire device from the dashboard (see various videos on Youtube). I only loosened one side of the block to remove the climate block. The picture on the far right shows two wire harnesses that need to be disconnected from the climate control unit in order to remove it from the pilot. There are tabs on top of the clips that need to be gently but firmly pressed to release the wire harnesses from each of the connectors. Once the two plugs are disconnected, the device can be removed by the pilot and placed on an anti-static cloth or another disassembly site (unscrew about 6-8 small screws) to access the location shown inside the device on the left. the actual picture. I'm not an auto mechanic. Replacing these bulbs requires patience and attention to detail, as well as a willingness NOT to use brute force to remove or reassemble the unit. However, if you have a decent set of simple tools, you should be able to replace these bulbs without having to go to the dealer.

Pros
  • Auto fit test performed to ensure trouble free operation
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
