well to change the color of the bulbs i used this orange transparent thermo hardening glass pen, which got for like $3.50 at the local craft store. One also needs nail polish remover to take the blue stuff off of the back of everything. There are write ups on how to do it for civics, i just looked at one and kind of winged it for mine.

no, only 2 are 194's ....the rest are a smaller size and really tiny ones in the acc buttons. keep in mind this won't work well if you just put in the bulb.
