I got a 99 Civic SI guage cluster and half of the speed-o is burnt out and none of my needles on it are lit up i picked it up for 20$ from a friend and it just sucks at night i cant see my gas needle or temp guage or how fast im goin if im doin more then 100.... and it just looks ugly how it barely lit up


ne one no what bulbs i get? like color and size

 

umm, the honda dealership

 

Ne one got a Si guage cluster lit up at night? with all bulbs? cause from what i saw online was there are 2 hidden bulbs on top of cluster that aims down towards every thing

 

I believe it's either size 24 or 74....can't recall.

 

Go to hondaautomotiveparts.com (majestic honda), and check out the diagram and find the part numbers you need. Yes there are two bulbs on top of the cluster. Once you get the part numbers you can order them at your local dealership, or you can just order them on that site.

You should be able to swap the bulbs from your old cluster over to the new one if you still have it.

 

Even after changing the bulbs, would the needles light up? It's been a while since I drove an Si, but my EX needles don't light.

 

Nah the needles only get light from the 2 overhead bulbs, as long as they're the same as JDM clusters, which I believe they are

 

Okay, it'll probably be just like my Ex cluster. 5 #24 bulbs and one #194 bulb.

OEM has clear bulbs that have amber condoms placed over them. You can spend a shitload at the Dealer or just spend about $10 shipped for amber bulbs from autoillumination.com Also, needles are lit up by two bulbs that sit over the cluster and point toward it. Ghetto, I know.

 

The Si's have amber bulb condoms? I thought they were like JDM clusters which use clear bulbs, the cluster is just amber underneath, itself.

 

The Si cluster uses CLEAR bulbs. It's the gauge faces themselves that cause the amber illumination.

Exact same part # for DX / LX / EX / Si / whatever gauge cluster bulbs from Honda.

 

 

I was told they used amber condoms like my Ex used to have blue condoms.

Please continue.

 

^Just the climate control

 

I just ordered mine from autolumination.com you need 1-#194 .11-#74.and 4 -#24 you can buy led or or just 99 cent color bulbs

 

Why does he need 11 - #74's? I'm pretty sure his Si cluster doesn't differ from my EX cluster. And if it doesn't, he needs 5 #24's, 1 #194 and no #74's.

 

I'm replacing every bulb in the cluster except the gaslight bulb which is one of the #24 that's why I only ordered 4 #24

 

Ah. But the Gaslight bulb is also a main cluster bulb along with being the gaslight. You mean the low gaslight correct?

 

for the price those damn bulbs add up too, i don't understand why you would just hit up a picknpull junk yard and grab a bunch of bulbs from a used cluster for nothing, or next to it. I've always done this when needing bulbs

As for the Si cluster, lol...yes, it uses clear bulbs like any other cluster like mentioned earlier in this thread

 

Bingo... I just came up on AT LEASE 20 bulbs hahaha Since every junk yard all the EG/EK's were already stripped to nothing...

Anyways, just go to your local pick-a-part/junkyard and take the bulbs out of the clusters out of any Honda......

 

All the bulbs I bought are red leds cuz that's wat look I'm going for .or you can buy super white regular bulb for 99 cents each you can put new bulb in the whole cluster for under 30 shipped.to me that's not a bad price

 

Those clear bulbs are in EVERY American and Asian made cluster in the states in the last 20-30 years (until they went to LED, of course). Go to the junkyard (Pick And Pull is the cheapest) and pull them out of the first cluster you come to. Last time I went I got a whole handful (like 4 cars worth) for $2.

 

^ yep...are you going for a red red look or like an amber look. You can always paint the bulbs with competition orange testors model spray paint for an amazing amber look.

 

Im going for the red look but you can also buy them in amber color too. Why paint them when you can buy led that are ten times brighter and look so much better
