Advanced Auto, eBay..... almost anywhere.
They are #194 bulbs on top. The really small ones on the back are #74.

Your welcome. I know Advanced has them. I've purchased both the #194 and #74 bulbs from them.

Well # 194 is huge, I just got back from advanced and autozone and #194 is classified as a turn signal bulb. I need the 2 of these. I got a picture for reference.

thanks

no way in heeeel can you put #194's in those sockets. the ones in the picture I took are wired into the socket, I yanked on the bulb to get it out of the socket and it broke 2 tiny wires that were holding the bulb into that plastic case. seems like I need a bulb that comes with the plastic turn in casing aswell. the bulb i have pictures is not on the back of the gauge cluster, it is one of 2 bulbs on the top of the cluster in a big white plastic rectangle.

Ok how about this.
I have some #194 LED's. I put them in my corner lights just to see what it looked like. Didn't like it. Put them in my cluster, thought "it'll do" and left them there.
Believe me now?

You must be talking about a different set of lights. I'm talking about the 2 lights above the cluster that I showed pics of in this thread.

Also, not to be a dick but in the 89 civic, those instrument lights arent there lol

So i figured out that the bulb in the pic i have lights the gauges to. I took the 2 white ones out with the blue covers out and put green bulbs in. I now have green dash lights cause i took out the 2 tiny bulbs on top till i buy green ones for that.
