Default Small Instrument Cluster Issue

Well, just installed modifry's dash braket which looks great. But as I completed this process, I turned on the car and saw that in the instrument cluster, the left side of the cluster is a bit darker than the right side. The back light of the cluster is fine(rpm, temp, etc). To compare, if you put the settings to your cluster to be the darkest, thats what it looks like on the left side. The middle and right is fine. Its not that big of a deal but if its something I can replace(bulb), I don't mind doing it.

Any suggestions,

Thanks,,

Sounds like one of your bulbs went out. I just replaced one of the instrument cluster lights in my parents' CRV over the weekend. It only took about 20 minutes to do so it's pretty easy.

Might be a DIY somewhere...

Here's a DIY to remove the cluster:

Oh great.. Thought I might need a new cluster or have to deal with it.

Where did you get the bulb at honda or is there somewhere locally you can buy it at..

Thanks..

I bought mine at Schuck's. I just brought my burnt out one in and showed the guy there which bulb I needed. I would've went to Honda but they were closed.

Thanks for the info..

But for some reason, when I drove last night in the car, the issue corrected itself. Its the strangest thing. Now everything lights up normally.

I guess the car fixed itself..lol..
