2002 honda civic instrument light out. Please help!!

All my light work fine on my dash except the light on the mileage reading. Is there a separate light bulb just for that part of the dash? Does anyone a has a diagram of the dash unit so I'll know how to take it apart correctly?

yeah separate bulb. fold down the steering wheel, remove the two screws of the gauges bezel on the top, then stick your fingers in from the top and work them to the bottom. pull the plastic bezel straight towards you. its glued on, so you need to pull hard. take that off, then remove the 3 screws holding the cluster to the body. unplug the two connectors and pull the cluster. onthe back you should see a twist socket behind the odo. twist it and replace the bulb.

Thank you so much. Do you what size bulb it takes? I want to buy it before I start tearing my dash apart.

A #74 bulb will work as a replacement...someone mentioned the original bulbs are a bit smaller than #74. $2-$4 each at the dealer if you go that option.

you can also match it at the auto store if you have another car you can drive while its apart. or drive your car to the store and take it apart in the parking lot.
