ok..i know i am not the only one here with an eg/eh/ej blah blah..92-95 civic ..who has some faded *** climate control lights. in every eg ive been in..that **** is faded where a light has gone out.nah its not a big deal but it just looks wrong.who here has actually opened up a eg climate control (yes i read jdm fan they arent too specific)..and seen the bulbs/changed the bulbs? i figure since im replacing these bulbs might as well put amber in there or something. i plan to do the same with my si cluster. ok i know for a fact the cluster takes 6 bulbs aside from the rest that mainly illuminate the cluster and these bulbs are 74 series wedge bulbs. i went on a led specialty site and found some 74 series amber led's. before i order the bulbs i wanna know what size/number are the two EG climate control bulbs..so i can order them all at once. im hopin they are 74 series also.
thanks. peace

where are you getting these LED's for your cluster? lemme kno...im interested...cuz the stock amber lighting on the JDM cluster is so DIM...

JV

Yeah, they're the same as the cluster bulbs.........

JaeOne3345

JaeOne3345

ttt

JV

I have a JDM climate control face and bulbs in my EX....... I'm positive........

JaeOne3345

and the bulbs were the same as your ex cluster bulbs or what?

JV

Yeah, i changed the guage cluster bulbs to amber too........

jdm4life

let me know where you are gettin these bulbs from and how much. I would love to do the same. I don't want to pay for the jdm cluster or climate control for me 1992 EG. I just want it to be amber like you guyz. Peace

CTR94Joes

For starters tell me how to change my bulbs on my climate control, and for sec tell me where your picking up those amber bulbs from.

civicboy95

yea, how do you actually change the bulbs in the climate control for a 95 civic.

ZXVIIR

don't you gotta take the dash out or something???
i took my dash out to paint my car and,...it looks like the only way...

JaeOne3345

no just the radio..zv has done the bulb swap on the climate control..maybe he can tell us how to access it better and change the bulbs. jdm fan says theres 3 screws..looks as if u must change at the least remove the radio.

CTR94Joes

But you forgot to tell us one thing, WHERE
ARE YOU GETTING THE AMBER BULBS FROM????

Animal-Chin

I'm looking to buy the bulb too! Please let me know where you're getting them as well! Thanks in advance!

Mr. Thunderlips

The bulbs for a 92-95 Civic climate control are in no way the same size as the cluster bulbs. They're tiny little bulbs, I'm sorry but i don't remember the size or name. When I just recently picked up my car, all the illumination was very faded, so I went to the local auto parts store and bought all new bulbs. Just for good measure, I picked up a small jar of Tamiya clear orange paint and coated all the bulbs several times before re-installing them. After everything was all said and done, I now have an amber cluster and climate control for a grand total of $13.95. My 00 Si cd player is on it's way as well.

B_CRUZ!

thunderlipps... does the tamiya paint fade off of the bulb? how long have you had it painted amber? i gotta show you guys my guage cluster. i need to up upload the pics. Super bright amber cluster.

Mr. Thunderlips

I have only had it on for a week now, but my buddy painted his turn signal bulb with the same paint like 2 years ago, and it's still going strong. Email me the pic of your cluster, I'd like to see it, and let me know how you did it. TIA

Black_eh2

i would paint my bulbs too. but i want the actual jdm cluster and look.

JaeOne3345

hey..the eg cluster bulbs are very small themselves..74 series to be exact. are u sure about this. if u are then let us what size the climate bubls r..so i can get them.
jv swore to me when he did this the eg limate and cluster is the same size.
and if the climate bulbs r different..where did u go to get them..

ive got both of them dissassembled right here, there are 4 in the cluster that are the same size as the 2 large ones in the heater. the lights for the buttons on the heater are a smaller size.



The picture shows the largest bulb in the cluster(with blue wrap), the one found in both the cluster and the 2 in heater, and the smallest ones that are for the heater buttons. hope this helps.

JaeOne3345

so the two MAIN bubls in the climate..ARE the same size as the ones in the cluster right?

Malachi

there are 3 larger bulbs around the speedo, thats the size in the blue. then there are 4 on the cluster and 2 in the heater that are the middle size.

JaeOne3345

hmm what about the bulbs around the tach and fuel/temp..they should be the same ones from my knowledge when i switchec clusters..they r the ones with the brown clip base arent they?these are 74.
i just called my buddy..a mech at honda..said hell try to find out for me. in themean time..does anyone know the exact number for the 2 main climates.

Malachi

yeah, the ones on the outsides, by the fuel and tach are the same as the 2 in the heater.
