I went to 3 auto parts stores none had them. Then went to honda and paid $10.00 each. Spent $150.00 for 3 CRX's
On a different thread someone told me I should've tried http://www.carland.com so I'll pass that info onto you.

Do you know if LEDs could replace the normal dash lights? Just to have a brighter backlit cluster?

The small ones are Sylvania 2721...you can get them at Advance Auto Parts...they're in a green and black package thats says EUROPEAN LAMPS...not sure about the bigger ones...194's?Don't get the ones off Ebay like I almost did,they won't fit.And as for LED's,I thought about that myself...but you'd need a resistor on one leg of each LED to decrease the voltage,plus,LED's tend to project light in a very narrow path...I just went with a set of Indiglo's which are white during the day,but blue or green at night,and with the dimmer all the way down on the Indiglos,they're a nice warm red/orange color.

Why not just use a 12 volt LED instead of trying to put on a resistor?

The resistor on one leg is not lowering the voltage....it is for current control...

I've already tried the indiglo's twice personally. After screwing up 2 clusters, that was it. Also, the indiglo's that came for a CRX had fitment issues. I won't do that ever again. I like the stock gauges fine but, I would like a brighter numbers at night.

AC autotechnic got them and fit fine the first time, removed my two bulbs, everythings great.

PM me if you want the bulbs, i can pad them in an envelope probably.
