I looked in the DIY section and couldn't find anything on this. Does anyone know where I can find something on this, like bulb sizes and where are these bulbs located. And or is it the bulbs that's causing this problem.

but anyways to get to them you have to pull apart the dash and get the insturement cluster out in order to exchange them out

have the same problem in my tl. its not the lights, switched two diff gauges and 2 diff sets of lights and leds. i think it has to be a ground somewhere. bc i know one of the clusters worked and them when i put it in my tl-s it didnt work, then worked when i put it back into my tl-p.

Can I get these bulbs @ RadioShack?

maybe, but you be spending only like $5 at the dealer, but might be worth a shot though

If your bulbs in the affected area of the dash are good, the problem is a little circuit board which mounts to the back side of the gauge cluster. It powers the light behind the sport shift indicator and the backlighting for the odometer, out side temp, etc section of the instrument panel.

In the post above where it says "part #2", it is part #10 on that diagram

i had some free time today and replaced teh bulbs. and now it works. wtf? might have been a bad connection. but it works now.

on my bosses 88 mazda mx-6 i had to resolder a couple of the pins on the circuit board to the wiring harness, because they had cold solder joints and/or too many years of vibration, so they had cracks in the solder joint, and ever since i did that all the lights have worked and still are for the past 1 1/2 years or so

Just checked with the dealer and they don't have them, I'll just get them from Acuraautomotiveparts.org

I hope I don't need that part, I'll try the bulbs first.

they should be able to order them, also maybe try a honda dealer and just give them the part number

is the light for the needle indicator for the speedo lit by one of these replaceable bulbs on the backside of the instrument cluster or is it an led? mine's not working, all of the other needles light up and the gauges too, so I'm just curoius before i start taking evrything apart.

i think so , but does the whole speed lit up evenly (not one side dimmer)

rcb2000

there might be a section that is a little dimmer I guess I'll take a closer look at the whole gauge.

does anyone know the bulb number for the dash light then?

check post #2 /\

rcb2000

I saw that number but is this truely an Acura item only? I was wanting to get it at a local parts store and not the dealler, since there isn't one very close to me. So is there a general number like 1157 1057 as an example for tail lights.

unfortenely (sp?), not really, but you can also try taking that part number to a honda dealer, and see if they can get you one

The ledautomotive kit looks overpriced. Isnt there a list of bulbs I can just buy individually?
