1995 Dash Lights??

[Walter98]

Hey out there, my girlfriend's 95 Accord has an interesting problem..the instrument panel is lighting up fine but the actual dials on the temp gauge, tachometer, speedometer, and fuel gauge don't light up so it is hard to see exactly how fast I am going at night or if my engine is about to explode etc...There doesn't seem to be a separate fuse for these lights and what are the odds that all went out at the same time..just wanting to know if anyone has any suggestions for this problem..thanks

Keep in mind...the car is a '95 and it's 2006. That's 11 years that the bulbs have had to burn out. I'd try replacing the bulbs.

so the dials themselves have separate bulbs just for them?

Yep. Usually they're attatched to the back of the instrument cluster, which means you'll have to pull that out to access them. Souldn't be too hard. One or two screws hold the trim bezel in place, then 3 to 4 screws hold the instrument cluster in place. Remove those, take out the cluter and unplug it and then you can twist out the individual bulbs and replace them.

It is quite an easy removal now that the speedo cable is history. I have heard that the Honda clusters use #74 bulbs for illumination (at least some do) Instead of #194 bulbs.
