Cluster Colours?

[tye]

So I know of the DIY's you can do for your Clusters to make the bulbs blue, or amber, which ever you want. Let's see some pics of people who have done this to their clusters, most of the DIY's don't have any final outcome pics, and I'm interested in giving it a try.

i did mine this weekend, turned out really good ill get pics up soon

i did it, it didnt turn out so good, i followed oc_civic's how to and it worked but i have a lot of hot and cold spots, i dont have any pictures but if you can picture a tach thats bright orange at the low numbers, and dull orange at the high ones, a speedo thats bright at 10, 60, and 120 and dull in between, blah blah, you might wanna put extra led's like his writeup says, but i cant figure out where to put them so that they dont interfere with the circuit board thingy on the back of the cluster

yea that's what I kind of thought, I wouldn't want to do it if it isn't bright all over the cluster.

let's see those pics whtcivic93!

it sucks that the 96-98 writeup's pics are dead.

and yea, i'm trying to figure out which bulbs are needed for my GSR cluster as well... since thats what i have in my civic now.

I tried it with just white 194 LEDs and the LEDs disperse light differently than regular 194 bulbs. There were just big dark areas and small very bright areas. I might try again with some super white 194s later.

I was checking that out and I'm wondering why he didn't just use 194A or 194NA bulbs instead of painting them?

I like the orangish color clusters, but no one else did Blue or any other colors. I think blue would be sweet.

OC_Civic is done in blue

I got a question, is there anyway I can get a stock 97 LX cluster to look like one of the accord ones?

no.

 

[SierraSonic]

Not even if I use a brighter white bulb?

 

[slowhatch]

someone needs to do green or purple or even an oranger orange

 

[tye]

Purple might look alright, maybe a dark green that shows up too?
