Anyway, take the stupid gauges out and put a new pod in. Indiglo gauge faces will stick out over time as the adhesive wears off.

I have a better one, the dealar (POHANKA Honda in Marlow Heights, MD) told me once that my gauge lights blew because of the paper overlays shorted the circuit board. Needless to say I NEVER went back there again.

..:UPDATE:..

My speedo Works! The part from honda came in today cost me $32. Installation was simple...

2 small tabs on back of old unit (bend those out slightly) and pull the whole assembly firmly out.

There are 4 pins that go into the back of the speedo motor assembly...line those pins up in the new unit and press down firmly.

Bend the tabs that hold it snugly to the board and re-install cluster...

Viola! I now know how fast I am going!

This is a GREAT fix for idiots like me who f^$@ up their needle during an indiglo install...no need to mess with reseting odometer miles or anything (messy).
