thanx mate

cheers


p.s..are these for a 99 acura cl 2.3?

 

Sure thing. These were the bulbs I changed on my '97 3.0. I believe the main differences are that yours has a dash light indicator for a key immobilizer and that the font style of your mph/km/rpm are italicized.

 

The backlit bulbs are all 194/168 wedge bulbs, the ones up top that illuminate down are #74's

 

thanx mates!

 

hello again

ill check ebay for em all...i found the 194/168 ones but not sure about the 74s..is there a full name for those vertical ones?

oh yeah..how many bulbs are needed for the entire dash??
even the vertical/down ones...

thanks

 

If I remember correctly, it's two #74s up top and 4 168's in the back. If you decide to go with LEDs, I'd suggest you go with wide LED to spread the light throughout the dash.

 

They're just #74

Correct, the two #74's are in the top aiming down, there are 4 168 wedges, and yes, definitely do the wide angle LED's or you'll have hot spots

 

So to make sure, 6 of these 74 LEDs and 15 of these 194 LEDs should cover all of the cluster bulbs?

Or is it +2 of the 74 and +4 of the 194 to cover backlighting as well?

EDIT: This thread helped. 4 168/194 bulbs + 1 74 (blue incandescent recommended by Musulsa) for back lights only.

 

Just to add some info, those two 74s at the top illuminate the needles on the gauges.
Mine both were out when I bought the car. It was weird the first time I drove at night.

 

You'll want 2 bulbs of #74 not 1.. unless you only need 1, of course.

 

I've got the service manual on CD and it shows 4 3W bulbs and one 1.4W for backlighting, and two 1.4W bulbs at the top front to light the gauge needles. So 4+3 is 7 total.

Haven't taken mine apart to know for sure.

 

Never tried to upload a pic before:

 

great thanks for all the info!
