Need help with 1990 Accord

The other day I was messing with the lighting on my 90 Accord Coupe. It’s an auto (freakin A, I know) and I was trying to make the lighting on the gearshift selector look a brighter shade of blue, as opposed to the green/blue that it is now. While I was doing this I broke original bulb. It has no readable part number on it, and I can’t find it online. Does anyone have a suggestion as to where I can look?

are you talking bout the light in your dash, or actually by the shifter?

go to pep boys or an auto store...they usually have full detail honda manuals on shelves. In the index look up lights/lighting they should have the part number listed for the bulb you blew up. Probably only costs 1.99 and they should have it in stock.

check out www hondaautomotiveparts.com is a good site to check out parts and stuff...

Ok I think I found the bulb, but what if I don't want the OEM bulb? I'd love to talk to someone who understands electricity better than I do, because I need to make this light brighter!

if you want a brighter bulb than the one you have now, just get a bulb that is rated with a higher wattage. dont go too high, or you will draw too much current and possible burn out the wiring too the bulb, if the fuse doesnt blow first. you also may end up making some of the other lighting wired with it a little dimmer.

your other bet is to just run new wiring to the spot and put a brighter bulb in that is drawing power from a new source.

the final solution would be to change out the piece of plastic that the light is shining through to the desired color.

or simply buy proclaimed "high wattage " bulbs.
some do look and burn actually brighter

I am beginning to see that I have two options: Run new wires to a new bulb, which would be a big pain for the small change that would result Find a bulb with a higher rated wattage[/list=1]I guess now I have a new question:[list] Is there a website somewhere that sells really obscure bulbs?See, the thing is, this is just a small little bulb that no one else would ever mess with. Where can I look for one rated at a higher wattage?
