go to sylvania.com and do a search for what bulbs fit your car, you can either purchase some regular replacements, or do what I did and order some LED replacement bulbs from superbrightleds.com

i cannot believe it.. i checked Nappa, JRP(performance shop), Canadian Tire, Bolt-On (performance shop), Part Source AND the cream of the crop which suprized me the most was Honda... I go to the parts department, i inquire about the blub i have, ask him for the dimensions (3mm or 5mm) they do not know... ok fine i said thats not important, do you have the lights in stock?. im not sure, can you check.. sure.. he checks.. wat colour are they i dont know, can you find out, we have no idea....**shakes his head** i never thought it would be this hard to find blue blubs for the back of an odometer . . posted_image

ohhh i also forgot to mention i tried https://www.superbrightleds.com
but the only problem with that is it does not come "ready" meaning the anode and cathode are not bent.. so i dunno if that will work in an odometer even if i bend them ;s

pull out the guage cluster and look for yourself.... they will be randomly positioned on the board.. I have a 98 acura and they are simply 194 bulbs (five total).. replace them with some wide-angle LED 194 bulbs to avoid hotspots.

yes i am aware of that, but im looking for a specific colour
i think the only solution is to change the gauge

well they make LED's that are made with resistors in them already all you have to do is pop them in the factory holders and that is it, if they dont work reverse them and they should work.
