you could get an sir cluster which lights amber and has amber needles as well. or you could buy the red bulbs like you were told, or you can remove the blue condoms on the bulbs and dip them in red transparent paint. lot o' options.
u gotta let me know how to do that as soon as u find out how its done.....thanks!!!!!!!Snackz said:

the other thread also has the honda part # for the bulbsit's actually pretty east.
1. remove the concole by removing the 2 screws above the guages and the 1 screw behing the hazard light button.
2. remove the 4 screws that mount the guage housing.
3. lower yuor steering wheel, unplug the guages, and remove it from the car.
4. on the back of the assembly, on the section with thte shift indicator, you will see a device that is screwed down. it is white plastic and kind of sticks out. it's very obvious.
5. there are i think 2 screws that hold it in place. when you remove it, you will see that it houses the light for the shift indicator.
next check the voltage to the lights with a VOM and then find replacement bulbs. if you use LEDs, you may also need to use resistors to get it right.

and here is a resistor reference from a friend's website. http://www.codeflux.com/resistors/
