Default Gauge Lights

I have a 97' LX and the light that illuminates my fuel gauge and speedometer as gone out. Is this an easy fix or will it be a hassle? Just wanted to know if it's worth the time to get it lit back up.

Have to pull the cluster out to get to the bulbs on top. To get it out, see the instructions in the FAQ for the speedometer fix.

It's not bad at all. Make sure you are changing the right ones. If you can't see the gauge but can see the needle change the bulb behind the gauge. If you can't see the needles but can see the gauge itself then change the ones on top. There are 4 across the back (#194 I think but don't hold me to that) and 2 at the top. The 2 at the top I have only been able to find locally at Honda. The others you can get at any parts store.

All you need is a small pocket sized flathead, stubby phillips, and a long phillips.
