its simple, just use a thin flathead screwdriver to slowly wedge it out. it even tells you in the car manual how to do it.

There was a thread about this a while ago, same thing

Use a small flathead, like the ones you use to fix glasses/small toys
there is a slot between the clear plastic, and bezel.
just stick the screwdriver in there and pry it open, wont break

While we're on the topic of dome light, I just noticed that mine has been making a really strange noise.

It happens when the dome light is turning off/fading out. It makes this really high pitched sound, like electrical towers. I dunno if anyone else has had this problem. It probably just needs a new bulb. Just thought i would throw it out there.

I noticed that as well in my car. I unlock the car, get in and before i start the car i hear the high pitched noise. To me it sounded like it was coming from the speakers, thought i was going nuts. Never thought about the bulbs.

It's normal. Both my 2001's did it. Used to annoy the **** outta me but, I don't even hear it anymore.

First time I heard it I was like "Where's the tv?!". lol

There are 3 places on the edge of the cover (towards the front of the car) where you can stick a small flathead into and pry out. My flathead is in one and you can see the other 2 on either side of it.

Sorry about the fuzz, phone cam.

Iuno if it's just me, but the domelights bother me, so i have both the front and rears off when I open the door.

And i replaced all my map lights with color changing LEDs, fun when im bored :P

Are theses bulbs available from Advance or any other parts store? Will I have to get them through Honda?

You can get these at any auto store

Correct me if i'm wrong but the front map lights are size 168, or any T10 wedge will fit
