you could always buy the bulbs at autozone and spray paint them...it's pretty easy...of course from the sounds of it..it sounds like youll be the one taking her dash apart

...if you need help figuring it out let me know and i'll walk you through it, i'm about to do it next weekend because my bulbs burnt out....you'll need five #24 bulbs and one 74 for the gauge cluster....at least that's what they are on the 92-95 civics, you might want to double check that...good luck

yea i was thinking of doing that but wasnt sure if the bulbs actualyl emitted enough light to show the color, ill take it apart tuesday on my day off and see what i can do, thanks for the input

it'll show enough light...if you buy new bulbs...don't use the ones that are already in there or else there going to be very dull, my friend did that and he found out the hard way

SPW makes those 7 colored ones with a white face. One of the 7 colors is hot pink.

here are a few types:

I have the last type (boost and volt gauge SPW). They are decent for the money, but the lighting starts to malfunctions just a tad after 9 months of use.
