A while back (2+ years ago), the center (1 of 3) dash light stopped working. So, I decided to replace all 3 dash lights with LED bulbs, myself, due to the supposed long life expectancy of LEDs. These bulbs sucked as they had very low lumens, but it got the job done, & 3 were functioning.

Months later, the center dash light stopped working again, so I went ahead and replaced it with a spare LED bulb but, it still won't come on.

I will attempt to buy higher quality bulbs non-led bulbs and try replacing them again, myself. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

But in the event it refuses to come on what would be the next course of action?

I can't see how fast I'm going, from 0mph to 90mph. I have to go by RPMs & current gear, while driving at night, which sucks.

Edit: It seems all the 194 bulbs on ebay are LEDs, which is a bummer but I'm still open to any recommendations.

 

Just to be clear, they are not "shorted out" a short would blow a fuse, blown/burnt out LEDs maybe, all the cluster illumination bulbs are on the same circuit, red/black is power, red is ground from/through the "Dash Lights Brightness Controler".

Also, you should check the "circuit board" the flexable plastic film with the traces on it, make sure there are no burnt spots, on either the pos.(+) or neg.(-) sides, also look for corrotion at the point where bulb holder makes contact with the trace along with the contacts on the bulb holders themselves. 94

 

Looks like I'll go ahead and get these then:


I'm not certain though if they'll fit in the integra

Reads 194NA instead of just 194

According to amazon, the 194 don't fit, but these 168s do:

 

It turned out, I needed to rotate the bulbs, 180 degrees, then place them in the **** similar to how AA batteries have + and - side

I ended up getting these though, which was a very wise choice, despite people saying amber was the best choice. LED for the win, except for tail lamps.
