The first thing I will do is replace the backup lamp bulbs.

I have the bulbs but need a video or graphics for this change.

Second will be the cargo overhead lamp bulb. Need same.

I don't know if anyone has a step by step guide yet for the Passport, but this video shows replacing the backup lights on the previous gen Pilot which should be similar since they're in the same place as the Passport:

Thanks stetrain. It was so easy I would never have figured it out.

Now waiting on a link to changing the cargo overhead lamp.
going to replace mine this weekend.
same assembly as above (from the manual)...

Back-Up Lights


When replacing, use the following bulbs.

1. Turn the socket counter-clockwise and

remove it. Remove the old bulb.

2. Insert a new bulb and turn clockwise.

Rear License Plate Lights


Rear license plate lights are LED type. Have an authorized Honda dealer inspect and

replace the light assembly.

High-Mount Brake Light


High-mount brake light is LED type. Have an authorized Honda dealer inspect and

replace the light assembly.

I just tried to replace the reverse lights, they are really tight in the socket i didn’t want to force them out in case there is a trick to this, lol figures i would have difficulty with something so easy lol
Not sure if will work for reverse lights but on the video for replacing the interior lights recommended wrapping scotch tape around bulb to help grip it to pull it out.
It seems like there is a clip you need to press to get it out. It doesn’t budge lol. Maybe I am being to careful but I don’t want to break the socket

Start video at 10:28 believe need to twist counterclockwise. Sorry about previous answer bulb sits differently.
Thx, i got the socket out by twisting counter clockwise but the bulb is really tight in the socket, just weird it is so tight, and the video shows the bulb popping out so easy
Ithe tape helped to get them out. Thx!
Glad you are operational!

Does anyone know if there's also a set of LED replacements for the turn signal bulbs?

This is for the 2019 Pilot but I think it would be the same for the Passport:

Thank you for the link.

I haven't gotten my Passport yet but I was wondering if there's a way for me to confirm that these Pilot bulbs would also fit the Passport. If I already had the car I'd be able to buy a set and try them out.
I just bought a set and will try it / I tried another bulb without success so hopefully this one does it as it was a bit more pennies this time ? ‘ rear blinkers that is
I really hope you have success with this set!

I'm guessing that the front a rear bulbs are probably different too.
Me too thx / I will report back of course good news ???
Just purchased the Lasfit LED for front and rear turn signal hopefully they work. All interior and reverse likes have been changed to LED and work great.
