Help with replacing the Low GAS bulb in the instrument panel

[.·°~ SleazzyWeasel ~°·.]

'98 Accord, the low gas light quit working a while back, so
I ordered another bulb (assuming that was the problem).

I've got the bulb, but before I take out the instrument
panel, is there anything important that I should know?

Thanks guys, I always appreciate all of your help.

I don't have one on my Civic, but if I remember correctly, on my other
vehicles (past and present)that is a light that you cannot check like all
the other bulbs by turning the ignition on.

Yes. Check your dashboard gauges regularly. That way, you know when
the gas is getting low.

You don't need a light.

Y'all act like having this light out is the worst thing in the world.

Elmo has a point, but you might not be taking the fuel tank low enough
unless you have already run out of gas? Most experts say to keep your tank
at least 1/3 full to keep the fuel pump cool. Normally when my tank gets
near empty and I go on a freeway on or off ramp, the light will go on as
the fuel sloshes to the side of the tank. good luck.

Remove a couple screws up top. Pop/pull the trim ring/bezel STRAIGHT
OUT toward you...if not you'll break the tabs. bezel will fight you.
if you break it, epoxy it back. Tilt the cluster forward and remove
the 3 harness clips and then emove whole cluster. Bulb replacement is
easy.

However if your guage reads all squirrelly from 1/2 full to 100% full
it's probably the fuel sending unit failure typical with this car. i
have this failure on my 98 Accord and haven't seen my low gas light in
6-9 months and it came on for one cycle the other day...haven't seen it
since.
