In the DIY section, theres a post that talks about swapping out your gauge bulbs with red ones, to kinda get cool red look to your gauges. The guy who wrote it had a Teg, and the bulb size for those are 194R.

Well on my civic, theres one of these 194Rs in the middle, but theres also 4 other smaller ones, which i cant find the size of...and i cant find replacements anywhere

any idea what size these other 4 smaller bulbs are and where i can find them in red?

doesnt really work, the marker doesnt stick well to the glass, and when it lights up, just looks pink

i know they make the lights in red, i just cant find them

well i think every honda has the 194 bulbs. what's the difference between the 194 and 194R ?

194 is the size of the bulb. 194R is a 194 size bulb in red, 194B would be blue and so on.

huh well that makes sense...
I tried the red sharpie and it worked pretty decent for me...
You could always roll up to the dealership and get the bulb condoms

ive tried the red sharpie and that wore off, then i tried some red less tape stuff and that melted, best bet is translucent red paint from a hobby store. i dunno where youre gonna find the red bulbs...

not my car but a good example of nicely done red gauges...

I bought a set of red on black guage covers from a company called speed hut. I like the way it looks, kinda like a BMW. If you go to speedhut.com you can see what they look like, and you can even have them put on special graphics for your car club etc.
