check the Wires that connect to the bulb. make sure its not Fried out , or Disconnected. Check the voltage thats coming to the Needle. Make sure theres some voltage.

is it a 92-95 civic? USDM civic cluster needles dont light up lol, only the JDM clusters have that ability. there is a reason why the stock clusters light up the whole face of the cluster :doh:

try looking at the cluster from an upward angle. They're two lights that are on the top which make the needles show. Right now my right one has gone out, so I can't see my gas & speedometer needle. :(

yea, if those are out, be prepared for some ***** ass labor. I had to take out the center console, glovebox, disconnect the a/c controls just to get to the screws that allow the cluster to come out.

are you serious? my cluster comes out with 2 screws on the top of the cover piece and then 2 hold the cluster in...then you disconnect the wires and pull it out......

yup, you have to remove some **** to get to the other screws that hold the trim piece in. At first, i said ok, i finally got it and then the piece wouldn't budge. Then I looked and there is another damn screw i have to loosen, lol.

the thing about buying a jdm cluster is that it shows in km which i don really care since i'm used to it but the mileage in the car will change my car has 140k original if i get a jdm i wont b able to use it since is set up to go in km. anyways is there any way i can make them glow brighter?

your an idiot, all you gotta do is get a stubby phillips screwdriver and unscrew the 2 screws at the top of the bezel and one behind the clock which pops out by gently pulling on it ... seriously, its not hard :2cents:

I hope you realize im talking about a different car. There are more screws. other that you mentioned that you have loosen to get the bezel out to get to the cluster.
