Default Replacing the instrument lamps in a '91?

The lamp on the stock radio in my 91 convertible is out, and the rest of the instrument lights are fairly dim. I figure I might as well replace all of 'em at once. I don't remember it being too hard to disassemble the instrument pod(though I last did that when I replaced the 85mph speedo on my then-new 87) BUT I want to have all the bulbs ready-not do it twice, or make the inevitable 2nd and 3rd parts runs.

I can find a listing for the types needed on the OSRAM site, but can anybody tell me how many of the different sizes (and their locations) are needed or give me any pointers? Any and all help is appreciated!


BTW, to those who've not seen it, the factory shop manual stinks. I don't know how those manuals are today, but that's one thing (THE one thing?) Honda could give lessons in. Their manuals are outstanding, with excellent illustrations and text.

Im not sure how many there are but they are 194 bulbs and there are 2 or 3 in the radio (thats a 93 style though) adn at least 10 in the guage pod.

Are you aware if there's an 'upgrade' bulb for this size (brighter) that's safe? Thanks again!
