Instrument cluster 01 LX

Got an 01 civic LX MT with a bulb out for the odometer. Just restored this vehicle back to great shape but I'm already not much of a fan of the instrument cluster. I've seen some I prefer on newer civics though. Is there any newer clusters I could install? If I'm taking the old cluster out for the sake of one bulb I may as well take the opportunity to switch to a cluster I like. Specifically I saw one that's blue I like.

Mike

I would just change out all the illumination bulbs at once and stick with orig cluster.

The common #74 will work... or get oem bulbs.

Simple to remove and replace.

Re: Instrument cluster 01 LX

I'm assuming I can get the #74 bulbs in a different color?

You can try and find a gauge face overlay, though, they're not as common on eBay as they were a decade ago

Honda just uses bare bulbs for illumination.

The covers just trap the heat... and most covers are junk (too thick) and are made for #194 bulbs.
