As noted this is the cluster for a V6 car. 4 cylinder models are not the same and require disassembly to get to the automatic gear indicator bulbs. My original ones still work so I smile at them each time I go for a drive in my car.
Very nice display of what size bulbs go where. You can however replace the small gearshift bulbs from the base by carefully bending the wire of the bulb from the base, inserting a new bulb and then re-positioning (bending) the wire into the base so that it will make contact on the circuit board. It's a bit of a pain, but saves some $$$$ if doing all 7. Also, all the 194 bulbs can be replaced with 168 bulbs, which are ~50% or so brighter. One can always dim them down a bit if they seem too bright, but 50% is not that much more to the eye.
@@Ronbo765 I used number 2174 bulbs (4.7 mm). They might be slightly brighter or dimmer, but since only 1 is lit at a time, it won't be noticed. I believe that's also the bulb size used to illuminate the clock and odometer backlight. This video shows how to replace the bulb in the neowedge base. ruclips.net/video/jIhkQsZ2uq4/видео.html
@@Ronbo765 My mom has a 2002 Honda Civic Dx and one of the bulb for gear {D} went out so I replaced it. After I replaced one of the dash boad light for {D} , I put everything back together and after I plugged the yellow clip and blue clip back in the unit , the thermostate(temperature) gauge needle goes way far below letter C when I clearly put the needle ON letter C not below C - I just don't get it. Please help me out .
Wind Youre welcome. Yes, they just twist out of the housing and then most of the bulbs can be pulled out of the sockets. Very easy. If I remember correctly, the very smallest bulbs on the gear shifter have to be replaced as one unit (socket and bulb).

Yes left is loose. It should be ok to twist out even if tight. There's probably a bit of corrosion on the contacts. Perhaps use a small wrench (wrapped in tape to prevent damage) to slowly work the bulb socket back and forth to break the contact.
Great video on describing the bulb size and location. I replaced all the #194 bulbs and now enjoy seeing the entire panel fully lit up. Thank you!
Ken G Thanks!
Just what I needed. Thank you greatly!

TheCarMan Did not know that. Thanks!
What # bulb did you use for the gear shift positions?

@@Ronbo765 You're very welcome. ;-)
I put at #73 bulb in my odometer and that worked just fine.

@@MikeJones-in3uk Sorry, don't have any info. Check out the Honda forums and post a question.
Thank you
Thank you. I cannot get those bulbs out by hands. I was thinking of using a needle nose plier but worried they might be soldered.

not soldered very easy out
Thanks
that column of 7 small gear shift bulbs, are they 5mm, 4mm or 3mm grain/rice bulbs? Thank you!
Don't know sorry. They came from the stealership.
Did you find out if they were a T3? Cheers. Am going to give my V6 cluster an LED conversion

What is the lights ontop that shine down?
Don't remember, sorry.
Hi, the T10 (194) socket on mine is really tight. Is it safe to force? (Left for loosey, right for tighty)
Yes left is loose. It should be ok to twist out even if tight. There's probably a bit of corrosion on the contacts. Perhaps use a small wrench (wrapped in tape to prevent damage) to slowly work the bulb socket back and forth to break the contact.
@@Ronbo765 Thank you :)
What are they for LED lights
Don't know sorry.
T10 , T5, and T3 for LEDS
@@googleuser2850 thanks bro
@@googleuser2850 What wattage bulbs should we use?
@@eaglehigh-h3eI’d just go for the lowest you can put in it
Thank you so much. Do you know the sizes for the climate control buttons as well?
No, sorry.
