that looks killer! see, i have pictures of my gauge cluster in my public profile if you want to see what im talking about.. but the bulbs the link in the forum post take me to bulbs for your generation integra lol i have a 2nd gen, the bulbs are different from what that thread says. the bulbs have a "158" on the ones that do the speedo, tach, gas and temp colors. they are a mini-wedge base bulb. they have a twist and lock base thing. here are the LEDs that came up in the search:

i just dunno which LEDs to get, i mean the ones at the top, WLED-x look good to use.. the whole degree they shine in and everything confuses me.. lol i took the climate control out of my car, but keeping the radio lol gotta have tunes! im thinking of doing red LEDs, since the rims i have picked out are going to have a red line around the lip, and they are black rims.

@jdmjim, the car needs all the stuff change anyway, like i said earlier, the car was not taken care of before i got it.. and probably none of that stuff has been changed.. except the oil. may as well go ahead and change it all lol.

lol i tried that and it brings up everything for the car, just not gauge cluster bulbs. see, thenoxus1 told me that instrument clusters was 1895, you type in 1895 in their bulb conversion search and it brings up bulbs that do not match the ones that go into the gauge cluster lol they would not even nearly fit. where i am lost is the whole "90 or 120 degree beam" part.. do i want 90 or 120 for my gauges? lol i should just skip all this and just get these gauge faces i found and install those. they are white during the day and glow that indigo color at night and come with a built in dimmer thing and everything.. save alot of fustration

hmmm lol i guess ill just order some after i get the car running.. thats my number 1 concern at the moment.. get it running, then get it towed somewhere to get the clutch replaced (no tags or insurance on it) then get new tires, etc.. lol got a long road ahead of me. thanks for your input and advice afroman

determine if its spark or fuel before you start changing stuff
while you are right, it could be spark or fuel, when any vehicle has sat for a year it needs certain things changed, fuel filters get clogged as debris settles, the fuel evaporates and loses its octane levels, oil turns to gunk, engines dry out, spark plugs wires and battery terminals get corroded. its always a safe and smart idea to change those when a car of any kind has sat for that long.

You should still attempt to charge/jump the battery, a year's a long time, eliminate the simple things first friend. It'll save you.

but the battery is fine, the car has power when i turn the key, i hear the beeping, and the car wants to start, but wont catch and run. i ordered a fuel filter today, and got a bottle of fuel system cleaner. tomorrow, im going to drain the tank, put a new fuel filter in, drop that bottle of fuel system cleaner in, and then put some gas in here. then change the oil, fill it through the cams to lube the cams up, then prime the system by what Dtackett told me, turning the key, hearing the pump activate, then turn key back, wash, rinse and repeat 5x, then try to start the car. i hope it works! im ready to move the damn thing and get the clutch replaced and linkage assembly replaced as well. then its on to ordering my long list of parts for interior, exterior, and engine. i figure ill swap it out eventually, but down the road from now. but thanks everybody for all the input and information! i really appreciate it!
