So does anyone know if the temp and fan control *****/levers, are supposed to be lit up on a 92-95 civic? I see that it has a clear piece that looks like it should be lit, but I've replaced the bulbs and so far no luck, they are still not lighting up. Can anyone confirm? Thanks.

I think Honda or the company that designed that part dropped the ball. What is supposed to happen (but it doesn't):
There are 2 bulbs that light up the majority of the climate control. Some of the light from these bulbs is supposed to be directed down through a clear plastic piece, then directed along a clear plastic piece on the very back of each of the control *****. Then finally, come forward and be emitted at the front of the *****.

You can open up the climate control and really clean down the tracks where the clear plastic pieces meet and then you'll get a very very little bit of light to the **** but it's way too hard to see.

So, yes, it was designed to light up, but it doesn't.

What danomatic93 said. However, when I took the blue condoms off the bulbs and lined the inside of the face with amber plastic sheeting, the ***** lit up a little more. The blue sleeve cuts out a lot of the ambient light. They don't light brightly, mind you, but they do light up.

you could always swap out the bulbs for LED's......

Been there, done that. Don't do LEDs...they'll look like @ss in there. They don't have the light spread that is required to light up the whole console properly.
