that is prob bailey from honda-tech so search there
its not hard and im not going to tell you how to take apart a dash or interior parts

you want amber guage cluster
take out guage cluster find all the bigger bulbs that run the lights for it, get a orange sharpie and color then orange
i did it

or u can use paint... sharpie is far easier

same for climate control...

The marker markings dont mess up? Cuz those bulbs get really damn hot....

Edit:
I've tried painting the bulb with engine paint cuz i cant find any bulb paint and it sprays too think and uneve...
I've tried using a marker now, it doesnt stick....
I want blue bulbs damnit!

try superbrightleds.com they have 74(92-95) led in ten colors and they have 194 (96+)

I bought the 194 Bulbs from Autozone already colored blue but only one bulb would fit into the gauge... the rest of the bulbs were small and Autozone didnt have those....

I just checked it out..man that was a pretty good How To..I liked how it looked afterwards too..I think I might try that...Or just get some really bright white ones.

White has been proven to mess with your night vision.
Red is less stressful. That's why BMWs come with red guage lights stock

 

[evan2]

there are mine, with the sharpie
i neeed a updated one becuase its much better now
i had two smaller bulbs in there becuase of a mishap with paint
so i could only find smaller ones
was at junk yard and jacked a few reg size ones..

Im not talking abou tso white that you cant see..Just a bit brighter becaue the guy who owned the car befoer em put in indiglos but wired them up wrong and its hard for teh stock white light to show through.

you know know there is a knob to adjust the brightness... i hope you know this....

 

[Karten]

thx to all of you guys who found the place for me

I was thinking the same thing

 

[Red]

ditto

try superbrightleds.com they have 74(92-95) led in ten colors and they have 194 (96+)

Yep. I've posted this same thing in the MANY topics about changing console color. If you have $20 and can remove a bulb from your cluster.... then you can have just about any color you want.

yeah for the 96-98 ther are 2 194 and 2 i think its 74's...

 

[AqueousFila]

i have a 00 and there was only 1 194... what are the little tiny ones? if anyone needs pics of the back i can take em, if you can help me

I do really like amber, not even for JDM bling, it just looks nice. Might try this if we catch one more warm day.
