Default 94 Accord LX Coupe Going Dim Inside

1994 Honda Accord LX Coupe 177,000 miles

Does the 94 Accord have an interior dash light cluster like the later model years, or will I have to replace separate bulbs? Slowly but surely, the bulbs are either burning out, or the fuses are failing. I have no light in shift console, intermittent light behind AC/Heater, and the tach lights are getting increasingly dimmer with time.

Thanks,
Jonny Mo

Ya check your dimmer switch on the left side of the steering wheel. Also test your alternator with a volt meter.

There are a number of bulbs that can go bad.

X2 on burned out bulbs. The bulbs in what Honda calls the "Illumination Assembly", #17 in the pic, light the tach, speedometer and fuel/temp gauges from above. Two bulbs in that assembly are available at any auto parts store. Since the consoles have to come out to replace those bulbs, may as well check/replace any bulbs in the shifter and HVAC while it's apart. The HVAC bulbs are strange. Radio Shack carries one that will work, PN 272-1092.
