Default Cluster Bulbs for 02 accord

I changed my cluster bulbs to those super white crap bulbs.
The dash lights up in blue which i hate.
I like the white color on the newer accords and was wondering if those bulbs would fit on my cluster?

Any ideas?

maybe. the bulbs from my 97 fit into my older 91 before, so maybe it might work out for you. just try one and see what happens. good luck

Wrong, 7th gen uses LEDs behind a clear lense so that the light pattern is even.

i bought a 6th gen cluster to put into my 5th gen, because i wanted white lettering and red needles. so now i've ran into the same problem

the 6th gen gauges have some blue tint behind the white lettering. that's why applying a white light to them makes them light up blue. seems to me that it's nearly impossible to get rid of. ain't that a pain in the ass? if i figure anything out, i'll start a thread..

anyone know how to take the individual gauges apart? by that i mean, take the speedometer or odometer out of the cluster, and disassemble them...

the great thing is now the bulbs that illuminate my rpm gauge is flickering. so while im driving just that guage is flashing so it looks like im clubbing in my car.
