LED gauge cluster (01-05)

[johnrobert227]

Looking to change the bulbs in my gauge cluster and can't find any one that has done the lights for the 7th gen. So I was wondering if anyone knew exactly what size led bulbs I should get and how many. It looks like 4 #74s and 1 #194 were used in the 96-00 gauge clusters, and I was just wondering if its probably the same for the 01-05 or if there are different sizes or quantities needed. Any input would be appreciated

I can Help

Top cluster is for the Civic EX and Bottom is LX or DX i think... Just compare to your cluster and see which one looks more like yours. Mine was the ex and it looks like the top one. Good Luck.

Thanks that does really help mine is also an EX so it is that top one. So it looks like there is only the 4 gauge lights do you think there #74s like the 6th gen or possibly even #24s

i was looking to do something similar with my ep3 does anyone know what bulbs they are or have a replacement chart as well?

THe diagram shows all gauge lights with watt rating of 1.4. Thus, they are all the same size which is #74. So where ever you see a gauge light (1.4W) count them up and order only #74. I guess they dont use 194 anymore, which is better because there are less hot spots. Good luck

Yea, I converted mine to blue out of boredom, and I used 4 #74 bulbs I believe, one in the middle, one between each big and small gauge, and one behind the LCD screen. And just to warn ya, if you are planning on changing the bulbs to any colour other than white or red, you're going to have to remove the faces and sand the backing off behind the numbers and ticks you want to light up.
