There are instructions on how to replace them in the Owner's Manual. However, the owner's manual only refer to one filter, in fact there are two as mentioned in an earlier post.

I did mine about 5k ago and the AC smell i was getting is gone. It was a good thing. Change them, especially if you have allergies!

Autozone has Bosch Cabin Filters for around $16 for the pair so screw paying $25 EACH at Honda.

Honda will charge you an arm and a leg. Seriously, the dealership I went to tried to charge me $100 for the filters and installation. Do it yourself, it will seriously take less than 5 minutes.

I will have to do this too. Anything to keep the inside smelling better. Not that it smells now, but who wants it to start?!

I never it did it yet on my 03 almost at 45k. I saw your post and stopped to buy them today. Sure enough, mine are darkened and had little bug bits in them. there was even about 1/2 of a bee's rear section in the filter. Not sure what happened to the other 3/4 of the bee, but I'm sure it wasn't pleasant!!! hehe.

Thanks for the good advice, I hadn't read that part in the manual so I may have never known otherwise. Add one to your rep points.

They have no real effect as far as I can tell.

They make you get more little green dots, and it tells people that you are posting things that are useful. If someone is posting about useless garbage you can also give them a negative point and say that you dissaprove of what they posted. Just for show I guess.
