Default Why are there three missing lights on the guage cluster?

I just noticed that on the cluster of my '94 hatch, there are 3 spots that don't light up and there isn't anything there to light up. One is on the left, next to the oil light, and the other two are on either side of the parking brake light. Are there lights on the other '92-'95 Civics? Or is it just Honda putting a useless item in their cars?

i just bought one of those tachs that has the shift lights and i just tore it apart and routed the led wires to lights i put in the dash... waste of a tach just for some lights... im sure theres better ways to do it... i shoved the tach behind the dash so if the shift points ever get reset or lost i still have a way to set them again

yeah... but at the time when i did that i never thought of that... it was easy to just buy a tach with shift lights, set the shift points, and solder a wire to go to the dash for the light...

looks real nice in the cluster and out of the way
