Default Amber bulbs in cluster?

I'm just trying to clarify if the jdm itr cluster and climate controls have just plain white bulbs like the usdm ones and that it uses a colored film in front of the bulbs that gives it the amber color? I need to replace some bulbs since some don't work unless I smack the dash and part of my cluster is dim. I can barely read the miles on the cluster.Thanks for your help guys.

the actual gauge plastic is tinted to be amber. i found this out one day by placing a JDM ITR tach in a USDM GSR cluster. well, i had an amber tach and white cluster.

what type of bulb is needed? I got a blown bulb where the water temp it. Is it just me or is it a bit*h to get the cluster open? I tried to figure out how to fix my trip because the reset button doesn't work.

They're #194 just like the outer bulbs in the front turn signals.

Like i said in my original post, i have to smack my climate control to get the left four buttons that direct where you want the air flow to turn on. Do you guys think its possibly a loose bulb or if i were to replace them it would work fine??

well are you talking just of the 194 bulbs? there is only 3.. but the other bulbs there are i believe 22, so 25 all together. but the 15bulbs are ubler small and I think they you cant get them in store, only at acura dealership.
