Want that JDM orange glow from your gauges? - Honda-Acura.net

westcoaststyle · 04-18-04, 09:26 PM

I found today that AutoZone is carrying the right bulbs for this now if you have an EX cluster since the EX cluster uses mainly the larger bulbs.

I have attached an image of the bulbs you need to get. I'll probably put up an image later of how they look.

I was pulling my hair out trying to find these. I hope this helps someone.

Haha....you'll have to show me those tomorrow.

**randomtask77** · 04-19-04, 12:18 AM

Too bad those won't work for me unless I take off my indiglo gauges.

93DituneEX · 04-19-04, 01:02 AM

tru.....but i think it might be worth it....i might just buy bout 6 and ride with them for about a week and see if i like more than indiglo's

i think my Sir-G cluster is supposed to have amber bulbs. come of think of it, it doesnt have any bulbs. just lights up from behind.

Wharbone · 04-19-04, 06:52 AM

Cool. Can't wait to see pics of them installed. How much were they?

westcoaststyle · 04-19-04, 09:40 AM

They were like $2.29 for a pack of 2. Too bad JDM gauges don't read MPH.

I seriously considered just getting the JDM cluster not too long ago, but then I got that '92 Canadian Civic that I gave to my brother and I couldn't stand driving in KPH (even with the MPH below). I then set out on my quest to find these bulbs.

I'll try to take some pics of the cluster in action tonight.

JoePoonani · 04-19-04, 10:40 AM

If you take your cluster out, you'll see on the back where there are brown things sticking out. Twist them and they will pop out, these are your bulbs. Then simple take the blue/white bulb out of casing and put orange in. Reverse process. HIH

sweet i never knew that, good stuff

but in my Ex gauge it takes one 194 bulb and 4-5 74 sized bulbs. Is the size 24 you're showing equivilent to 74's?

westcoaststyle · 04-19-04, 02:13 PM

Yes, the 74s work in teh 24 slots. The bulb is just a bit bigger, but the plugin is the same size.

I'm still looking for an amber 194 so that the DX/LX guys could have the same effect.

Outxider · 04-19-04, 06:49 PM

194 ambers r all over the place, i had em in my clear sidemarkers on my old ej coupe. when i had a gsr cluster, i replace the stock clear 194s for amber 194s and it gave it a amber look. very nice.

If you don't have bulbs, where do you think the light comes from? Magical light up thingies?

in japan, they capture little fairies, that glow amber, and pay them to hang out in your gauge cluster for 10 years... in return, they get seven green potatoes, for each family member...

tune in next week, and i'll tell you how lepurchans make vtec...

westcoaststyle · 04-23-04, 09:37 AM

I might just have to do a DIY on this.

Thank you for this info.... 74 and 24's have the same slots?

Cuz they only make 74's in LED's, and not 24's. But 6th gen's have 5 24's!

I know this is a dead thread but I just got around to doing this and need to know how many bulbs I need for a 99 Civic EX with a manual tranny. Where are the exact locations for the bulbs I need to take out? I dont want to mess anything up.

I am working on the exact same project and i have the same question. I am in toronto and also own a 99 Civic EX AT. I guess the big question is:

Just how many bulbs do we need for this Civic? Everyone has a different opinion. CAN THE FORUM GUYS INTERVENE AND HELP US WITH THIS MISERY?
