Hello all ,
I have a 1996 Civic EX.
I went to change my gear shift light bulb (Center console) and the closest bulb any store had was a 73. I tried it and although the bulb fit the holder and lit up I was unable to re-seat the bulb where it had to go the bulb was literally a hair to big. Had to go to Honda and get a 35505-S30-003 which did seat properly.
I moved on to my Instrument cluster which also has bulbs out. There are 2 bulbs on the top of panel, not the center bulb, and every where I read they say #74 bulbs ? These are the same size as the gear shift light bulb.
Does anyone know for sure, is there more clearance in the instrument panel then the gear shift ? Does a larger bulb 73 or 74 actually fit in where it needs to go.
The Blue bulbs...I can only assume they get black like a regular bulb when they burn out.
Thanks in advance,
MP.
