Either of those sites will work. I used autolumination.com.

It looks all the same shade of blue in person. No really obvious hot or cold spots.

OC_Civic's How to.And the dimming may be due to bad grounds, low battery. When does it happen? When you're playing music?

just tear the dash apart and wire in your own. orange ftw!

what size resistors did you use for the amber.? my climate contrl keeps going out.. could it also be that I used tooo thin of a wire? and my 3 buttons below that are way too dim u can barely see it...... I didn't solder it to the circuit board I jus pulled oouut the original bulbbs and rigged the wires into that llastic socket thing..

any guides out there on how to change the light buld in your yourself?

Which bulbs did you have to replace? I took the guage cluster out a while ago and I was confused about what bulbs lit up what parts of the guage.

BTW, I am asking 97GreenEx

some people use the premade ones, idk if they have any for older civics, but ledautomotive.com sells kits that replace the bulbs.

hey gear box do u by any chance remember what resistors you used? i think i used 45ohm on mine but they blow out every now and then

 

[gearbox]

since mine are only 5mm 20mA leds, i used the 1/2 watt resistors. basically depends how many leds you wire in series and will be different for every situation. also, you want as many leds together as possible, otherwise the resistor will take most of the heat and blow up.

should i buy the ones that say theyre 3 times brighter than standard or will the cheaper 50% brighter ones do the job? also why cant i find any #194 size bulbs on autolumination all they got is #74s
