Oh, what do we have here?










I had a couple of dim spots and rewired in 2 extra leds, I still need to wire in a couple of more and need to replace the 2 very top bulbs that shine over the needles....dont ask, but long story short 1 busted in my and the other is lying shattered on my living room floor :oops: This turned out to be a lot more complicated than I thought, not really the simple replace the old bulb with the led bulb modification I had in mind. Major props to oc_civic and his diy threads. Even though his cluster is different than mine, it still gave me a guideline on the wiring and removing the extra plastic pieces :thumbs up. Also got a new led bulb for the dome and the trunk, major difference.

Hahahaha, I moved since then ;)
Yeah, it's pretty bright, but like oc_civic stated in his threads, it's more than a matter of switching out the bulbs for led's. His cluster for some reason differs from mine so it's taking a bit more work than I thought. Also different colors shine brighter than others. I also got some white led's and they glow really bright with a blueish hue, good stuff.

glad it worked out for you.. its one of my fav mods.. and its DEF not plug and play.. lol but it looks like you did a really good job with the wiring and s**t.. let me know if you have any other questions.. = )

FYI for anyone who hasnt seen what blue looks like its in the link in my signature..

and yeah i think that the color you choose makes a difference.. but the biggest factor is wiring in the extra LEDs in the best spots..

good luck man..
