Go to honda and buy 2 climate control bulbs for a 99-00 SI. Part number is 79609-S02-A11. You can not get the amber cover by themselves, you need to buy the complete bulb which comes with the covers. Open your climate control and take out the bulbs. Remove the blue covers, and put on the amber covers you just bought. Thats all there is to it.

Not sure on the size of the bulb. I made the mistake the first time of going to Autozone and buying "amber colored" bulbs to put in my climiate control. The color wasnt even close, and looked like ***.



Heres a pic of the climate control bulb out of my 96 EK. All I did was take that blue cover off and put the amber cover I got off the SI bulb on.

Yes 2 for the climate control. As for the cluster, go buy an SI or random JDM one. You cant make your stock cluster amber.

I used Tamiya clear orange paint on the bulbs in the cluster and the climate control. It worked awesome! The only problem I have now is the climate control lights up a lot brighter than the cluster.
