Temperature gauge light out
 
How do I replace the light in my temperature gauge? Is it a pull the gauges out and replace the bulb deal ? or is it a replace a fuse deal? Thank you.

Yes, on the back of the gauges, you just twist out the plastic sockets.
Then replace the bulb in the socket and twist it back into gauges.

Bulb
 
Ok. Great. Thank you very much. What kind of bulb is it and where do I get it from? Do I have to take off the windscreen and front cowling to get to the back of the guages?

You can order then from honda or any honda parts place:
#34908-MB9-871 - WEDGE BASE (T10) (12V 1.7W) (STANLEY)

Any T10 bulb will fit and you can also get T10 bulbs at the auto parts store.
However you have to look at the wattage on those.
The stock ones are 1.7W. Some T10 are a lot more.
Last time I replaced mine, I found some that were just under 2W at the local auto store.
There are something like 11 total, I replaced all just because they were all old and getting dimmer.
They worked well and were a little brighter, which was nice, but I wouldn't go any higher than that.

You could also try some T10, LED replacements.
I've never tried that before, but it should work, but your dash may be really bright at night.
