Gauge Cluster Bulbs - Honda Prelude Forum

My gauge cluster bulbs have crapped out on me.

Anybody here know what type of bulbs they are? Thanks in advance.

I believe they're LEDs. Ask Ludatic.

Are you sure Tannie? LEDs should outlast the car then.

Well the only guage lighting I know of are LEDs, so I could be wrong because I don't know much about guage clusters.

EDIT: A source told me there were mini-bulbs. Sorry about that. Not sure what size, I'm still searching...

Prelude_2_NV · 12-26-2003, 10:28 PM

Yeah, I thought they were mini bulbs because I searched the site already and came up with nothing.

Bump. I can't see my gauges at night.

Those bulbs are definitely mini-bulbs. I had to check it out because the low-fuel indicator never comes on (there's a problem with the wiring). I thought they were LEDs at first too before I took them out.

Those lights are fine, it's the speedo and tach lights that are gone.

somewhere in my pile of **** I still have this cluster sitting around. If I can track it down you can have it for the bulbs. If not here is what they look like.

Ah, those are the bulbs Andy! They're the ones with the blue "condoms". Thanks!

y not retrofit leds? use the brown housing for the stock bulbs and put in leds

MR.CLIFFORD · 01-02-2004, 04:14 PM

I would imagine you could do that if you had a seperate power source. Something that would power them all would be nice. I'm going to start checking tonight since I just got off work but I will let you know if I find it. I hope it didn't get tosssed

What year is the car? The 94 and up have what looks like tube lights.

It's a 1993 Si Charlie. Thanks again for the help Andy.
