Honda Civic Bulbs

Could anyone tell where I might get bulbs for the speedometer and climate control for a 95 Honda Civic LSI. I'm fairly sure they are called #24 and #74's. I need roughly five 24's and three 74's. I replaced a few of these before but must have been the wrong type/rating as it's is still hard to see what speed I am travelling at! Are LED's available as they have longer life span but again not sure about the power rating required?
Many thanks.

Main Honda dealer would be your best bet. Failing that, buy a second hand instrument cluster and take the bulbs out of it!

I had a similiar problem before and replaced with spurious bulbs, very poor quality compared to the ones that came out of it.

I'd try and stick LEDs in it if at all possible. Better light and longer life.

Thanks eringobragh, any idea where I might get them other than Main dealer? I would prefer to get the LED's but am unsure of the wattage to use and no point in spending extra money on LED's that pop after a few hours of use. I want to get it right this time as I hate taking out the complete dash! If unsure I will take Captains advice and go to the main dealer.
Help much appreciated!

Well the LEDs will use a significantly less draw than the standard filament type bulbs and give greater light in most scenarios (They also have a longer life) Ask on line civic forums i'm sure there a guide to which ones to use

just been sent this http://autolumination.com/74.htm lots of options there, good luck with yours

Yes I was looking at that site also for new LED's. Rang the main dealer and was quoted €7 a bulb(not LED) excl VAT!! That site in the states looks like the solution. Cheers for your help.:)
