Gauge Lights Fading/Completely Off
So this problem has been bothering me for a while... but I've been putting it off. I got this Civic about a year and a half ago and I noted that the gauge lights have never worked perfectly.
Around last month I hit a bump on the freeway and it caused them to go out completely (along with my tail lights). I managed to get them all functioning again (with the gauge lights still fading like before). It seems like the problem is getting worse and worse. Anyone have any ideas on what might be wrong? I took a short vid of their current condition:

Not sure if you can tell in the video, but I only have lights working for my gas and right side... no speedometer... no RPMs... etc.

Hmm... I heard that if you change your cluster it should be fine... except the miles issue. But I did fix it: posted a thread on fb here: http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?ui...16479&topic=26
Hope that helps in some way. Not sure if the type r cluster has the same bulbs but for my case those bulbs worked. Everything's lighting up fine now. Here's a picture of the bulbs I got from Kragen... sure they're at Autozone too: http://s716.photobucket.com/albums/w...t=CIMG0371.jpg
You might want to invest in this too: http://www.top-downsolutions.com/pro...65812e7111f2a8
It's only a buck something at Kragen and if you rub some over the connections it'll make everything work a lot more smoothly... Put some where the plugs go too. Lemme know if you need more help I'll see what I can do.
