1. Was wondering if any of you have tried changing climate control lights to LED's. I tried searching for DIY's but I only found 96-98 version of it. I couldn't find one for my car where the knobs are in a vertical row setup. I'm basically trying to give most of my interior lights a blue glow. Of course I'm gonna leave turning signals, ebrake light etc etc with their own respective colors.

2. Wondering if getting a cluster with a tach to swap with my non-tach cluster is simply plug and play? Are there any modifications? (I know its a dumb reason, but I just want to see my rpms.)

3. How do people get their needle on their clusters to glow deep red? o__o

4. My friend said he's willing to give me his huge speakers that he doesn't need anymore at home. It's rated at 150 watts and runs at 6ohms. He told me I can simply splice these speakers to my rear speaker wires... Is that true?

I'll just answer 2 and 3:
2. No modifications needed unless it's an Integra cluster, it seems. Search the forum and you'll find alot of DIYs and guides to which clusters are mostly used. I'm using another Civic cluster, not sure where it's from though; a friend of mine is using a CR-V cluster (98-00).

3. Painting the needle is one option, using red bulbs at the top of the cluster (one on either side) works, as well.

2. yes plug and play
3. no, you will need a amp if its a sub, your friend is a retard

Oops, my bad... they arent really subs....They're speakers that can reach low to mid-high frequencies

Thanks for the DIY link. Know if theres an easier way to take that part out? Or do I have to start taking stuff apart all the way from the e-brake area?
