Okay, I installed my new head unit today. All fine and dandy, works great. I did that at like 3 in the afternoon. Now, I just made a run to town and the two bottom controls, for Fan speed and temperature, Don't light up! WTF! I pulled it apart, and am looking at it right now, and those two are lighted by one bulb. Hopefully it's just that. Someone chime in, maybe I screwed up something grander then I can imagine? Is this a sign that I need to do the blue dashlight conversion? I would have a pic but of couse Sprint picture messaging is down for maintenance...


Too many problems, not enough weekends...


That's the story of the 7th gen Civics

um our dash uses bulbs. and yea if all the other dash lights are working, its prolly a bad bulb. if you want blue leds in there, send me your pieces I'll do a retrofit for $50

Nah, I think I'll just replace the bulb for now.. Thanks though Gearbox. The instructions on ledautomotive.com were pretty good, and if I get adventerous enough I might attempt it. Anyone know what bulb number it is?

not sure but i got a bunch of extras. you just gotta unwrap the wires, take the old bulb out, put the new in and re-wrap the wires around the socket. I'll send you a couple for $1

By the way, it is in fact the bulb, I switched it from the top to the bottom and now the top is not illuminating...So at least I know the problem. I'll try radioshack tonight, cause this is going to annoy the hell out of me. If I can't find it there then I'll PM you to send em' out
