Shifter Lights

[1993 CB7 LX]

hey guys, i searched and couldnt find anything. How do i replace my shifter lights? You know, the ones that say PRND etc, next to the shifter itself. any help would be appreciated.

You remove the center consol and There should be a plug there that has a bulb in it. Come to think of it though neither my 90 or 92 has a light there though. I take it you just got the car and it does not have lights there and your thinkin they are burnt out huh? I'm almost 99% positive they don't have lights there.

well, actually ive had the car for a year now and they just burnt out a week ago. are you being sarcastic with the no lights thing?

I've had no problems with that light, and he is right about the console thing... but not the light. there is supposed to be one there... at least there is one on my 91 ex. all you have to do is remove the cover(AKA console) and then replace the light bulb! maybe a 10 minute job tops, if you have the bulb handy.

lol come to think of it, i can't remember the last time i saw that light on. i was wondering the same thing, there IS a light down there right?

Where is the light bulb? i have the console off and all i can see is a big plug going into the gear selector. i also see a plastic thing with a row of wires soldered onto it. do i take off the plastic thing?

I thought that there for sure would be a buld somewhere down there.... I have my console appart... I'll take a look in the morning and get back to you. But incase I don't find it, my guess is that it would be mounted somewhere close to the top of the selector....

there is a bulb that lights it up

remove center console and theres a black wire going to the shifter plate and the bulb is at the end of that just grab it and give it a twist and it'll come out

Weird there is nothing on my 90 dx or my 92 lx(parts car) to even plug in one. Maybe I just got 2 cars that never came from the factory with it. Or it burnt out long ago and some one just hid the wires. Unless ex's were the only ones to come with it. I'm being 100% serious.

Cant be, cuz mines an LX, and i have found the black wire, but have to get a new bulb before i pull it out.

you could just unscrew the shift knob off. and then unbolt the shift plate indicator and under that you can see what's connected to it.

the bulb should be located around the....D3 or D4.. it's connected in there by a plastic housing and all you need to do is twist it to take it out.

No seriously its not there. The wiring is like non existant. I know for a fact my lx parts car was never cut or hacked up it was owned by a old lady 1st owner then my girlfriends cousin whos a girl and the 2nd owner then to me. My dx I'm not sure about but the lx I'm not sure why its not there. I'm wondering whats going on, the hole for the bulb is there but no wiring or socket that goes there.
