I replaced my dash light on my civic 93 one year ago. I first went to a
local car parts dealer. He said he didn't had bulbs that could replace the
one that honda used. He also said that honda whas the onley supplier for the
specified bulb. The local honda dealer wanted to charge me ?15.- for a bulb,
so i went out "experimenting" with other bulbs en found out that the you kan
pull the bulb out off the (braun / black) socket en simply can replace the
bulb with another bulb that you can by at evrey part shop / gas station.

Greetings
