Default Cluster and Dash bulb question

Hi everyone, I tried seraching this but could not find any results. I drive a 2000 Accord Coupe LX and I wanted to change the colour of my dash and cluster bulbsto red insteadof the stock greenish/yellow. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

just find your bulb styles/numbers and remove the guage cluster, then change the bulbs out. Getting the cluster/assembly out is the hardest part but getting replacement bulbs in is quite easy.

I've actually taken everything out before just to look around so I know the bulb type, but where can I find red ones?

The easiest place to find them is typically on E-bay or possibly a local auto parts store would have them.

Try http://www.automotiveled.com/ or http://www.superbrightleds.com The LED bulbs should be much brighter and can still be dimmed. Just so you know before you go ahead and change the color, my 95 has a bluish tinted plastic diffuser to spread the light around and when I changed my bulbs to red, did it cheap with red transparent tape, they came out a little purple and dim. I've wanted to do the LED conversion for a while now so post some pictures if you go through with it.

finch13, the only issue I have with LEDs is that that lights won't spread out like the regular bulbs. When I get this going, I'll post up some pics

Actually, check the superbrightleds site. They have a bunch of different angles and leds that help diffuse light. If you still want to go old school I have some red 194 type bulbs that I got at Wal-Mart or Checker, so they are around.
