Half of the speedometer light bulbs blew out and was wondering what tips are there to get out the cluster and to replace the lights without messing up anything. i was thinkin of gettin some white lights or blue.. any idea where to get GOOD CHEAP LIGHTS?? RECOMMENDATIONS. thanks..

 

dude dont go blue. you will get flamed until the day you die. just leave it white or amber. you can get the bulbs anywhere. its the same as the small bulbs that go in the corner lenses.

to take the cluster out take out the 2 screws on the top underneath the housing. the thing thats goes around the cluster and then there are several screws around the cluster itself. then just unplug it and the bulbs are black little nobb looking things. just twist and pull and they come right out.

thats what i followed for mine

edit: i went blue and i like it alot, but im also getting defi blue racer gauges for my turbo setup to match, just get whatever color you want

 

I think most auto parts stores will carry these bulbs. Here is mine with blue lights in it. I know some people don't like it, but I am partial to blue.

Your completely right. He shouldn't get what he wants because he is terrified that people on a tech forum might not like it

walmart caries them too but idk about blue. i did amber. they had that.

 

omg the blue looks so niice. anywhere where to get em cheapest? and how many should i get.


and what about the RED TIPS? does it ever needa be redone?

 

dude its not like they cost a fortune. is a few bucks.lol like 2 maybe. well you need 3 bulbs and they come in 2 packs so liek 5 bucks.lol

 

do the rep tips ever need to be replaced? ever blows out?

 

umm i dont think so.lol maybe after like 20 years.lol arent they leds? well im sure its the same way to replace im sure. i never really paid attention to themlol

 

i aint sure if they LED or not.. but yeah. i was just curious. thanks. anyone else about the rep tips question?

 

would these fit in the bulb socket?
the 1st or second one is better to do?
194/168?? or what?? its 0.79 but people got them for about 2-3 dollars for one. any reason? thanks..

 

i put red bulbs in mine they came out nice sorry no pix tho

 

ooh, someone try UV-BLacklight to see how they look. If I still had my teg I'd try them just for *****.

 

what ever you do do not get cheap blue 194 bulbs form walmart, autozone, or checker auto cause i got some and put them in my boost, and oil pressure gauges and they were dim to begin with but within one day they faded to a more aqua greenish blue and they looked like crap .

 

This is my setup with LEDs from Superbrightleds.com

i did, theyre very dull. ive ordered a few times from superbrightleds.com, i buy 3 bulbs of 1 color, and 1 always goes bad. so i ordered 1 purple with an order one time, just cause i wanted to see what it was like, and it was kind of dull. but yeah, theres problems with dead bulbs, alkward cutoffs (view angle isnt always good)

what i did after all that trouble was baught some incandescent bulbs from http://www.autolumination.com/ and theyve worked perfect for me so far, right now i have amber, theyre just as bright as the leds, and they look wonderful, plus none of them have gone bad yet.


(and XSIintegra, what kind of cluster is that? is it even a honda?)

(edit) nvm just looked at your sig.

 

which ones would work best? needa know asap. thanks.

 

anyone??
