spent the day at civic hb gsr's place (chris) putting on rear bumper, tail lights, and him doing my leds for climate, hazard, rear defrost, and window switches. took pics with my roomies camera, sorry i have shaky hands and it was cold as hell which didnt help.

shifter light. used a 5-led 194 bulb here.


gauges. used five 5-led 194 bulbs here.


the kenwood dpx301. installed this 2 wks ago.


climate and top buttons done by chris (civic gsr). white clock by me.


put some bright a$$ white leds under each button. (perhaps ill put some cellophane paper over it one day)

Looks good... I'm still contemplating on whether I want to do mine or not.

Its worth it. I did mine, in white, and they look awesome, bright as heck too. They were too bright at one point(10000 mcd also, see ebay link here, and I did was you asid jxkim, the cellophane works. There is a shot in my cardomain.

I have never seen red, but I must say, looks good man. I like it. Kudos to you and your helper who did all of the soldering :P

Also, I couldnt get into the part below the shifter to change the LED, any one know how? I looked for a while and pryed at things, but couldnt figure it out.

Do the leds look like this?

Or this?

jxkim

iTrader: (18)

i got the top one. the 2nd one will have all light going straight and will make your hot spots that much worse

tranz

iTrader: (1)

so was this led interior swap hard? do you need to solder(sp?) and stuff cause i do not know how to do that...

Looks really good man.z

just bought led bulbs for guages and shifter. soldering for the rest. its not hard but time consuming if its your first time. there are how tos on doing this.

Scottie403

did you use 194 for the climate controls and side arm window buttons as well?

ethnic6

iTrader: (5)

that is awesome, no hot spots at all... maybe I should change the LED types cause I get hot spots from my blue LEDs...

jxkim

iTrader: (18)

Perfect, and easy. Soldering is a must, you wont regret learning it.

I'll check back in 3 months and see if all your bulbs are still working good. I want to do everything in white with those 194 5-LED's, but I've heard too many horror stories of them dying.

Vlasic

iTrader: (13)

Tails are fugly, but the rest looks nice, good job.

aznstormin

iTrader: (4)

it looks great, i might wanna do this too.
are 194 bulbs only in the gauges and shifter? so.. a total of 6 5-LED blubs?

jxkim

iTrader: (18)

yep. well for my 96 at least.

dawger

Looks good I like the red lights

aznstormin

iTrader: (4)

cool thanks, i'll just assume it's the same for the '98.

jxkim

iTrader: (18)

yea well i think theyre better than the david Ls. optimally i would want a 97-99 red clears but finding parts to do conversion is not cheap.

Tatanko

iTrader: (34)

I think it heavily depends on the color of the car. I think they look ok on black, but on beige (like my car) I think they'd look retarded.

Yooo John those LEDs are looking tight. So hows your arm from the EVIL dog of mine. HAHA

jxkim

iTrader: (18)

Chris aka SE95maxskyline (civic gsr) is the man to do some led work if you in the nj area. im sure ppl who had him do theirs are satisfied as well.

for the 194 bulbs in the back of the gauges how did u know which was positive and negative??? im having a hard time figuring this one out...any help would be great...thanks

jxkim

iTrader: (18)

doesnt matter. theyre just bulbs

Dexter

iTrader: (2)

i like the red LEDs, awesome work.... wish it were easy to do, i dont want to touch soldering stuff

Cisco93lude

iTrader: (3)

how did you change the shift bulbs??

Luisjo

iTrader: (1)

im assuming you are installing led's?? because bulbs should fit like they are supposed to if it is then when you look the back of the cluster (the blue board thing) then for the first 2 from right to left the positive is in the left, for the other 3 from left to right the positive is in the right i remember it that way if not alternate them

jxkim

iTrader: (18)

didnt touch my needles... just installed the bulbs and that was it
