I was wondering the samething myself, although I'm not totally sure there is a bulb to change(please correct me if I'm wrong) but I installed some gauges in my G/f car, not a Dsm, and I dont thionk there was a bulb, the guages themselves lit up, but I have no idea how they light up, I just know how to put them in, havent done it in my car yet though.

yes there is about 8 bulbs in the back of the cluster that you can change if you can find the right light number.

i haven't seen the GST's gauge cluster however in my GS i took the whole cluster out and in the back of it like 93eclipsegsx said there are about 10 tiny little bulbs, if you can take one out and take it to like radio shack or something they may have the right size and right color you are looking for... the other option spend 20bucks on ebay for new gauges like i did that look great and take about 10 mins to install.

i havent checked, but the actual bulb probably isnt colored. Its probably just a clear bulb. There is probably some filter it goes through, or its just the color of the gauges themselves.
