Default 96-98 Civic How to change ac lights????

OK, so i did a search and i got nothing. Where can i get a DIY or something to change the white interior lights on the ac controls to the amber like in the Si? I put a CRV cluster in my girls car and want to get the whole amber theme going. Is there a DIY or can i get the bulbs from HONDA for the Si to fit into the back of the center console? ANy help, bulb size, anything.... thanks!

OK, so i read up on the dudes stuff and he says to use 2 #74 bulbs into the climate control... I couldnt even fit it in... it went in but not all the way and it was a tight fit.... I took some pictures of that and also for the defrost button.... i went to autolumination.com and saw new wedges... i'm guessin its the type a just wanted to be sure... here are they pictures. what the hell am i doing wrong?

Buy them from the dealership and they will come with amber bulb condoms. They are like $3-5 each.

i have #74s in mine aswell, i used a small philips to make the plug a lil wider for the bulb to fit, mine went all the way in, i bought from autolumination, but in your case i would just go oem, the amber bulbs that i have recivied never seem to match the oem amber.
