92-95 ones light up, so i'd be surprised if 96-00 doesn't. wouldn't make sense for honda to take out a feature like that over the years.

The diagrams (6th generation Civic) below should help you access and locate the bulb:

i thought it was a 74
i could be wrong though

just take the bulb out and bring it to the auto parts store and compare it to the 74 bulb they have. if it doesn't match, find the one it matches.
