LED Condoms... Where to Buy?

[Mahlmann]

i'm looking to change the climate control and guage color on my 97... i've done some research and it appears i would get the best results from a new LED "condom"... for those unfamiliar, the condom is the size of the led (well, a hair larger) and it slips ontop on the LED to chnage the color of the LED... in all my searching i cannot find somewhere to buy these condoms without buying Si LEDs that come with the condom on them already... anybody know of any places?

this is what the condom looks like...

bulb part # is 79609-S02-A11 Neo wedge bulb

its not an "LED condom".. its just a bulb cover.. and no, you probably wont find any. i've looked and they have them for some of the bigger bulbs but not the neo-wedges or 74s.

you have a 97 civic, so just look up the DIY and buy amber bulbs from here.. i've bought tons of bulbs off these guys and they're great!

eh i like saying it's a condom... yeh, i've looked at the DIY, that's what inspired me to do it... how do the bulbs look that you purchased for those guy? too dull, too bright, just right?

i bought a few to test against my si radio, and it matched up pretty damn well. if you want, i should get the rest of the bulbs today or tomorrow and i'll throw them on to see how they are. i'll try and take some pics.

like i said though, the amber bulbs i got for my AC match and light up brightly.

i've bought bulbs for other things from them before, and like i said they're great. shippings fast and the quality is great as well.

i'll take your word for it... i'm going to buy red and amber to test out the two colors... quick question thou...

the neo-wedge bulbs are the climate control ones, on the site there are two different neo-wedges, do i get the 10mm ones?

also, for the guage cluster, it requires 4 #74 bulbs which is no porblemk to find... but there is one #194 bulb required, no #194 on the site thou, will the same 10mm neo-wedge work?

also, definately post some pictures when you do everything

thats the DIY for the 96-98 civics.. i'm pretty sure you dont have to use neowedge bulbs on your car. i'm pretty sure you need #74s for your CC.

the cluster takes 4 #24s (or 74s.. but i used 24s) and 1 #194. http://autolumination.com/194.htm
