Yes. Should be a total of 6 bulbs to replace.

The beauty about getting the 6 LED bulbs with the bases included (as opposed to just pulling out the bulbs and re-using the stock bases) is that you could order 6 of the same LED bulbs with base as they all fit the same.

I did a cool white LED, though it looks great, it's not like the newer honda gauge clusters that has a crisp white light to it. I might try the 'warm' white light next or just another color altogether.

its been so long scince ive done it. i think they all where #194's or #74's witch ever set is smaller. there are 6 in the cluster and 2 in the climate. now on the back of the climate and the defroster button i painted the backs of them with a transparent red paint. from Hobbylobby in the modle car section.

just look for the stock buld sizes for your car and order the LED ones from. http://www.autolumination.com/

Well I did this with some blue led bulbs from http://www.hid-lights.com and they aren't very bright. They look good, but like it's hard to see how many miles per tank your at.
Also I took out the color palette for the turn signals and put blue 74 led bulbs in there.
OMG they are BRIGHT. Like very annoying bright. Even during the day they are annoying.

if you have a 194 bulb you can buy them at orielys or advanced auto parts for about 1.00$
but the 74's are harder to find those you might have to go online for.
