ok i just painted the bulbs on my gague cluster in my 98 civc ex auto.

i took care of 4 bulbs and the 2 on top of the cluster . . .but when i tested it out,

my fuel/temp/auto gague is only partially lit up.

am i missing a bulb? this project was pretty easy so im willing to get the cluster out and paint something i might have missed. can anyone tell me what went wrong? i thought i got all the bulbs

 

my fuel/auto/temp gague is half red and half white

 

anyone?

 

make sure none of the bulbs are burnt out and make sure you didn't miss any bulbs, it doesn't hurt to double check.

when i did mine i painted all the ones with a brown backing. 2 on the side with the tach, one at the top, and one inside the white panel

 

i painted my dash ligths red on my 96 dx it came out better than i tought...but every time i would turn on my ligths the top one above the mph( mine being in the middle) woulnt turn on ...i took the bulb out the cleaned the little terminals clear of paint sure enough thats what it was..now they all turn on

 

Yep, you should paint all of the bulbs with the blue condoms on them orange/red. You probobally have one burn out or you got paint on the ternminal. Pull it back out and double check that.

 

the thing is. everything lights up. so theres a bulb there that works, i just can't visibly see it. im afriad because i have an automatic transmission indicator i have to remove the whole gague and take it apart to get to a bulb.

 

Dude you missed a bulb or something I had the same problem when I did mine one of the bulds you just look by it is one of those spots you can't see like in you pants. Just take it apart and look over it it can't hurt
