LED Gauge lights suggestions for my 91 Si Hatch
Hi Guys,
This is my first post on this forum other than an introduction.
I have a 1991 Civic Si Hatchback that I bought in 1993.
I really need to change a few bulbs in the gauge cluster and heater controls because I can not see them at night.
I did some searching around on this forum and others and really did not come up with a simple "Order this" solution so I thought it was worth asking the questions.
Does anyone know what the base # of the stock bulbs are (T4, T5, T4.2, ? )
Has anyone ordered replacement bulbs that were LED and worked great? If so what did you order and from where?
I checked out SuperbrightLEDs.com and they have a good selection to choose from, I just don't know what to order.
I have taken apart the gauge cluster before so that is no problem.
Thanks in advance for any information you can share!
Special K

Hey Guys,
I wanted to update my thread to help others who may also be searching for information.
I ordered L.E.D. bulbs from Superbrightleds dot com
When I contacted them they said I would need (4) 194-BHP5 lights with (4) T3.25S-TW sockets to replace the brown based with blue tint bulbs. These are way too large and were returned.
I then ordered (7) 74-BHP3 Blue and was able to re-use my original sockets and it works great! If you are only replacing the background lights you will need to order 7.
I also ordered (2) 3022-CWHP4-V2: Cool White 5630 SMD bulbs to replace the dome light and the light in the hatchback compartment. It works great as a dome light but it is a little too long to fit into the hatch light housing.
