Needles don't light
OK, My needles on the left side of the cluster are no longer illuminated. I know this topic has been discussed somewhat here but I was looking for some clarification before I tore my dash apart. Here is a diagram of the cluster:
Now, the guy at the dealer seemed to think that "bar" that is part #17 (top left of diagram) is what sits at the top of the cluster illuminating everything. There are nine bulbs that go into that assembly - which deviates somewhat from what was discussed in the thread above (mentions two for each side - total four). The dealer speculates that part #2 is what I need.
So, does anyone who has looked at the cluster know if that thing at the top (#17) with the nine bulbs (#2) is in fact what lights up the needles?

I was able to order them at my honda dealer - honda part 35505-SA5-003... only like $3 each.
Any tips in accessing them? Just Remove the Cruise Button / Dimmer switch, and those two screws at the top of the gauge cluster visor?

There's at least 4 more screws in there once you get the plexi off to get the guage part out.
The only problem I had when I took mine apart was getting the dimmer switch back in place.....the wiring was just barely long enough (in mine) to get ahold of and connect the switch back up.
