This
automotive maintenance tutorial was specifically written to assist
owners of the second generation (2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014
& 2015) Honda Pilot SUV in changing a burnt out courtesy step
light bulb at the bottom of the interior plastic door panels. Owner's of other Honda or Acura vehicles such as the Odyssey, Insight, Ridgeline, CR-V, Fit, Civic, CR-Z, Crosstour, Accord, MDX, RDX, RLX, TL, TSX and ILX may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful. A replacement bulb is part number 194 which is available from various manufacturers such as Sylvania, GE, Eiko and PIAA. You may also be able to use any other miniature wedge base bulbs such as # 158, 168, W5W, 2825 or a LED unit. The only tool needed to access and replace the bulb is a small flathead screwdriver. |
