Default '01 civic (em2) gauge cluster led question

so i've searched a few different sites and haven't found anything definite. i'm trying to find 2 things. 1.) a good site that is reputable for selling high quality led's, and 2.) what size led i'd need to replace the 11 bulbs in the back of my friend's 01 civic cluster.

we already took the cluster apart and removed the red backing from the gauges so now they shine the color of the bulbs now just need to know which size to get.

Thanks in advance,
Ben

I have not replaced my bulbs for stuff like the turn signals and ebrake light and those things, but I have replaced my bulbs for the gauge faces and needles. The gauge/needle bulbs are different sizes than the turn signal/warning bulbs.

The size required are #74 LEDs, or T1.5 Instrument bulbs. They can be purchased from http://www.superbrightleds.com...xt=50
I do not know the size of the the turn signal bulbs.

Look for the T1.5 Instrument bulb on that page. Pick your colour, order, and install. Very easy. You will need somewhere between 8 and 14 bulbs depending on your year, model, and country the car was sold in. I've seen some take 12, mine only took 8.

To Install:
Remove your gauge cluster.
Look at the back of it, you will see the bulbs of the quarter twist in variety.
Remove them. NOTE: If you have an auto tranny, i dont think you can safely remove the lights that illuminate your gear selection. I dont know where I heard this but i seem to remember someone saying something about that.
Install the new LED bulbs.
Plug your gauge cluster back in, and make sure all lights are illuminated.
Since LEDs have a positive and negative side, if the bulb isnt lighting up, remove it, rotate it 180 degrees, and reinstall it.
Reinstall gauge cluster.


This should take about 15 minutes to do, as there is no soldering or anything.

Good luck.
