what size are all the bulbs in the cluster?
i want to make everything blood red like a rsx.
any help is appreciated. i think the main size is 194? i just need a confirmation.
i put some crap orange ones in last year. but would like red instead.
is there any way to hook up led's in the cluster and be hooked to the dimmer?
i hate how the middle is dull with bulbs.

 

Not sure but I think it's one off size only availible from the dealer. I've bought a few and they cost about 4 bucks each. Maybe you can get them and paint them red.

You can definately make it red. Take the cluster out and in the back, there are three main bulbs that light up the cluster. Remove those bulbs and go buy 3 194 red bulbs and it'll be red like a DC5.

Here's mine with Amber bulbs. If you get the red bulbs, the background will be red along with the needles. But not quite as red as the DC5s, but should be good enough for what you're looking for.

i've had the red bulbs in my DB and they just look ed pinkish to me. so i also swapped them out for some amber bulbs. the amber is a lot brighter and that's what i was looking for.

some say the 168 bulbs are brighter... but i couldn't find any in any other color than white. so i settled for the amber 194 bulbs less than $2 a pair at wal-mart

hey. changing the Color of the bulbs could be the answer im looking for. I wanted to buy some Indiglo's for my Cluster, but some ppl told me that there no Good, and could mess up my cluster. Maybe ill just change these Bulbs for that different look im going for. What R these bulbs called exactly? i have a friend who works for Acura. i could tell him to buy me a pair. Thanks

 

here's a picture of my ambers... also i screwed up my last post.. .they're 194 bulbs

 

You can get the bulbs from autozone, and by the middle being dimmer, that's usually the cause from LEDs.
I also have my dimmerswitch all the way down, because with it up to the top, they're Way too bright.

I have red also.

 

i just ordered a R cluster with 48000 K.
have the jdm amber steez.
thanks for all the help otherwise.

 

awesome.. anyone know how to take out indiglo gagues? and also the tape thats stuck on the back of it? starting to get to me... haha

Just get a new cluster.


I tried red 168's from Autozone. The compay was called Blazer but I eventually took them out. It looked really deep red but just wasn't my style.

 

fo reals, just get a new cluster. u get the carbon fibre look, it revs to 10000, jdm amber lighting and everyone thinks your car isnt even broken in yet at the low kms.
