Default 1994 Honda Civic EX Instrument Light

Does anyone knows what kind of light bulb is use on the A/C Panel to display it. and is it the same light bulb use on the automatic display? If anyone answer can you post a link to where i can buy the bulb with different colors or filter ... I'm looking to make all my lights red to match my stereo, right now its a white bulb with a blue filter on it.

well theres always custom lighting..... leds with wide angle output or some cold cathodes inside the housings also works well.

I think there are two #73 bulbs to light the writing on the panel. You will need to remove the panel from the car to change them. The light in each button to show when it is pressed is an individual small LED.

for a 94 i dont think the button indicator leds are changable. i think they where built into the button...

but the 99-00 i know are changable if ya do alittle solder work but the backlighting bulbs do just slide in.
and on the 92-95 backlighting the bulbs just kinda push into a hole... no real snap, so its easier to just use a hot glue gun and simply glue the bulb or new led or what ever your choice of lighting is and just glue them around the hole. pretty easy....
i used cold cathodes inside my 94housing, and i used flexstrips on my 99-00. i havent customized my 96-98 one yet. only thing i did was pull the unit and plug in a good larger bulb i had spare from my old clusters. took some force but i squized that sucker in.LOL my old bulbs where blown thats my only reason i replaced mine.

I meant about this two bulbs. You see they have a blue filter on it to make the light blue, so i was wondering if there was any place where i can get a different color or a different light blub. I just don't know what kind of bulbs these are.
