Yeah mine is no longer working. Does this thing have it's own fuse? Hmm, what the hell else could be causing this. Gearbox, I think you could probably help me out. PLEASE!!

yes it does have its own fuse. Look in the fuse box for the correct one. it is for the gauge assembly.

the odo also has its own bulb that can be twisted out from the back. pull the bulb out of the holder and replace with a new one.

AHH, I figured it was a bulb. I wouldn't think that it would have a fuse seperate from the rest of the gauge cluster.

 
Rep Power: 453

my bad, I thought you meant the whole gauge lighting assembly wasnt working. I didnt read carefully. But yea, there are several bulbs back there as gearbox said.

I was hoping that it was just a fuse. I definitely do not want to rip apart the dash...

if it is just one bulb, could you change the color of it too?


if you're really worried about it you could probably ask the stealership to change it for you.

 
Rep Power: 267

Yeah, and then ask them witch limb they would accept as payment.

 
Rep Power: 453

it isnt hard to do. Just remove the 2 screws at the top of the instrument panel, then there are a few more screws behind that which hold the cluster assembly in, and after those are removed, the cluster assembly comes out.

Ahh, thanks brah.

I'm wodering where I could get the OEM bulbs.

 
Rep Power: 812

ya its 5 screws to take out. hardest part is after taking out the first 2 you need to grad behind the black surround part and pull toward you hard. there is glue so the first time will take some muscle. then its 3 more screws and it will lean forward enough for you to stick your hand back and unscrew the holder.

not sure what the bulb is but it could be #74 which is available at any auto parts store. just take the bulb and try to match with one at the store.

ok, I was kind of thinking they were ALL LEDs

 
Rep Power: 812

the old cluster has mostly bulbs, but the new one has everything as leds.

 
Rep Power: 267

Old Vs. New? Examples. What years are "old?" You mean 7th VS. 8th gens?

 
Rep Power: 0

i think he means old as in 01-02 civics and new as the 03-05 with the led rings on the three circles

 
Rep Power: 267

got you. Only difference is that I've fot a VP so it's the DX cluster. No rings, just ugly *** orange light.

 
Rep Power: 812

01-02 is old style that has the greenish light for sedan and amber for coupe. all dx/vp is old style even the 05.

03-05 is new style that has all white numbers with blue rings for sedan and red for coupe. all LED lighting.

Grazi...

 
Rep Power: 267

Yeah, so come to find out, the Dealerships have no idea what this bulb number is. They also claim that I won't be able to find it "aftermarket." Kind of funny considering their "service advisor" told me that it'd be easier to change the little bugger myself.
