... did a search, looked at everyone's sites, and searched the web but I can't find the bulb number for the light(s) that illuminate the cluster bezel. I need someone to tell me this in the next few hours so if anyone knows or has da book post up and help me out, ok? I need to know the bulb number and how many there are. Thanks...

 

The lights for the gauges and dash lights? They are 194 wedge bulbs.

 

194 style bulbs. You'll need 4 of them for the gauges.

 

Thanks guys, AGAIN...

 

i dono if you already got em or not, but i believe 168 is also the same size bulb, just at 5 watts instead of 3 or something. someone could correct me if i'm wrong, but i'm pretty sure i'm not.

 

are yopu sure there is for and also if by anychance you know what is the size of the lights in the airconditioning unit cuzz i wana change mines and ow difficult is it to hange all the light? is it worth it to change the color of the bulb or just to get a whole new instrument panel. thanks

it is pretty easy to change the bulbs behind the gauges. I did mine w/ 194 style blue LED's. They look tight and cost me about 20 bucks. I wanted to change my lights in the a/c unit too so if anyone has ever done this, what type of lights are behind there.

 

for real? how long did it take? that is exactly what i want to do. how long does it take to install the lights and do i have to remove the ash how do i access that , you dont have to get into detail just an over view. and where did you get your blubs at
thanks for the info.

 

you can get the bulbs at any auto shop, like pep boys or auto zone. they're like 2 bucks for 2. (194 wedge bulbs) i changed mine to red, but i'm thinking of going to LED blue or something like that. it's really easy to change them too. i want to change the lights behind the climate panel too, but i dont even know how to get inside of the thing though, or the bulb size.

 

look at my site in the how-to section under clock fix, that shows you how to take the whole dash apart and get to the bulbs

enjoy

 

Hey, i have the blue LED's and they are nice, but i don't think that they are as great as what everyone says they are. I'm about to change mine to either hiperwhite or red 194 bulbs, because the LED's don't distribute the light as well. And if anyone knows what kind of light goes behind the a/c controls please post something.

 

Very EASY mod. Did mine in about 30 mins. Changed mine to green While you're in there, you could turn your mileage back if you want. Just a thought for when you want to sell the Max. I am going to try and tackle the AC lights most likely next weekend. I have a bad temperature switch that needs to be fixed anyway. When I do it, I will let you know.

 

I'm not sure if we have the same lights in our a/c unit or not, but there was a link that was posted here on tha org that went to a thread that was posted on an acura-cl website where tha guy (THE MOD KING, as he was called there) did this very exact thing. Changing all tha bulbs in the cruise button, a/c unit, defrost button, etc. Every button that was lit up green, he changed to blue including the clock. From what i recall, he had to order some 3mm led bulbs and had to unsolder the stock bulbs and replace them with the aftermarket bulbs he purchased. From what i can remember from reading tha 6-7 page thread, it took some pretty decent amount time to change all the bulbs, but when he posted his pics, it sure as hell was worth it. A very nice mod to do in my opinion!! Was thinkin bout tacklin this job, just don't have tha time myself!!

 

found tha link and here it is...i don't know if our cars are similar, but you can get a general ideal to what the whole mod could look like!!
