    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

    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.

    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.

    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
