Taking it apart is a pain in the ***...

But it can be fixed...

You can even "colour" the bulbs...

Tiny as they are...

94eghb, don't bother getting the coloured bulbs, b/c i bought blue ones at pacific mall the other day and i took my cluster apart and installed it and it still lit up the same crap as before i installed them so it doesen't do anything so don't waste your time or money. theres some stupid shield that makes it unsuccessful.

no isn't it cuz the ones that Honda puts in are kinda bluey anyways? atleast that's what they were in my friends 4th gen hatch, if you want get red ones that's what i've seen done and it works easily, he got the bulbs from CT and plugged them in and it worked perfectly

and are you sure they lit up red? b/c i attached the bulbs to my clear corners just to test them and they were brightblue but when i installed it it was the sae as before, there was no blue whats so ever. if blue doesen't work i don't know why red would.
