Default 6th gen low fuel light

The low fuel light on my 6th gen EX has not been working for quite some time now. I don't know if it's a bulb, or a fuse. Since this is an idiot light, I'm sure there's an individual bulb for it. How would I go about confirming the bulb is the issue, and replacing it? Specifically, I'm not sure which fuse to check, or how to remove the dash to access the bulbs. A bulb on the left side of the dash is also out.

are you sure you're low on fuel? the thing doesn't go on until you're past or dead on "E"

I'm certain, as the car has run out of gas twice. Once to confirm a broken light, and once because my wife needed convincing.

Sounds like it's a problem with the bulb.
Just replace it

Just wondering, how many gallons of gas does a 6th gen accord have when the empty light is on?

its probably a bulb, or a connecting wire. the only way to check is to open ur gauge cluster thats in ur dash, and check behind the frame. see if the filliment inside the bulb is broken, or look for a burnt out wire.

What is the procedure for removing the gauge cluster?
