Default Only half of cluster lights up?

From the center of my cluster to the right (speedo side), will not light up. Cluster is in fine working order, just really annoying at night to have only half of your cluster light up. I'm trying to find a solution before I find myself buying a whole new cluster. Anyone have a similar experience? Cluster? Dimmer switch maybe? The cluster was not messed with when it happened, just parked the car, got back in it a few hours later and the no-lighty. Checked the bulbs and they are not the problem. Tia.

Are you sure that the right-side bulb in the upper diagram isn't bad?

Yes, I switched the bulb with the working one from the other side of the cluster, still no light. Also checked all fuses- not the culprit either.

Check for corrosion or a broken wire in the socket where the bulb plugs into.

Ok, will do. Has there ever been a problem with the actual curcuit board in the honda clusters? That's what I am kind of leaning toward- but I havn't heard of that ever happening.
