Yep sure can do it but you have to pretty much take the dash out to do it.
Basically you get replacement LED bulbs and solder them into the spots where the others are after they are removed.
Takes some time but its not all that hard once you pull the dash.

Just to let you know that you can get LED kits from me.
Right now I am only offering them for the 6th gen Accords, but I will soon have 5th gen kits available

This brings up a question Ive been wanting to ask, would it be possible (and fairly easy) to change the dash back-light color in my 96 Accord? Stock the dash lights up a greenish/blue, but Id like a different color, Ive thought about red or maybe even a straight blue (Like the pics for the 6th gen dash) Id like to do it in a way that I dont need that overhead florescent light that shines on the guages to light up the white needles....but rather just have the numbers light up and possibly the needles to be self illuminating as well.

I know it is possible to light up the dash. I should have a kit to do it in a month or so.
As far as the gauge cluster, I do not know. I usually recommend getting aftermarket gauges.
You can read about the 98-02 Accord's gauge cluster if you go to my website and click the how-to guides button. The very last thing will be a guide about all the trials and troubles I had with my gauge cluster.
