As far as I know, the only source for the bulb is the dealer. I have not been able to find it in parts stores.

If you get desperate, take the bulb with you to compare to a Honda dealer. The one for an Odyssey looks at first glance that it may be the same.

Autopart stores sell the bulb, but it won't fit right. I have tried. The original bulb has the base soldered to the bulb. You need to get the bulb from the dealership to get a perfect fit. It comes with the base soldered to the bulb as well and is a direct fit.

You can just solder a small bulb across the contacts and save a bunch of money.
The part from Frod is about $14.00
The bulb can be had for under $2.00

5 minutes of work = $12.00 Savings...

Try another dealer or two. The bulb was only about $3.00 or $4.00 the last time I had to buy one.

the bulb was $5.00. I had mine replaced last year. Pop out the cloc, from there its simply twist and pull.
