a friend of mine needs to replace the lighting in her instrument panel. is there a particular light she can buy at any auotmotive store or does she need to pay a visit to a local honda dealer?

If you can wait about three weeks I can let you know for sure. For the moment tho, no. There is a blue filter attached to the back of each gauge that makes the light bluish in color. If you want to get a little funky, get some some bulbs. What that will do is work WITH the filter and give you a really deep bright blue. Or if you go with super bright led lights, you will get a bright greenish blue color.
I am getting my gauges out of the car and working on them but it is going to be about 3 weeks till i can do it. In order to get the cluster to go amber, we would first need to figure out how to safely remove that blue filter, and then its all about gettin amber bulbs.

awesome, so youre going to make a DIY?...what kind of car do you drive?
95 Accord EX, 5 spd; stock cut resonator, led refitted a/c panel, cut and cleared stock tails, cut and modded front grille from a 97 accord, rewired bumpers, linked corners and i am doing reverse gauges, uv sprayed needles and led refit for all indicator bulbs on the instrument panel in three weeks along with underdash and underseat neons.
