How to replace Integra dashboard dimming lights?
One of the dashboard lights seems to have gone out and it is a bit of a challenge to see how fast my car is going after the 65 mph mark.
The car is 2001 integra ls coupe with 142k miles. I wanted to replace them with led bulbs as these are supposed to last 100k hours. Im wondering what kind of LED bulbs are ok and how would i go about to replace the dashboard lights?

Yes, replace the blown bulb.
Phillips screwdriver to take out the 2 screw holding the gauge surround in place, then 2 more (I think only 2, its been a while) to take the gauges out. Bulbs are in "twist lock" sockets in the back. Simply twist, pull, and then swap the bulb in the socket (press fit).
And don't use LEDs. They're either too narrow of a beam pattern (leaving hot spots and dark spots), or too dim if they do offer enough beam width.
The 94-01 Integra gauge cluster uses 3 168 bulbs, but 194 also fit (ever so slightly dimmer). I'm using 194NA bulbs in mine (amber side marker bulbs).

this link is golden. I recommend the amber bulbs as well. one of the best, and cheapest mods I've done.
