#20845, "Dash lights"


          

Just finished painting my calipers with ford red engine paint and clear coat. Looks sweet!(Thanks for doing the write up vegas) Now I am going to something with the instrument cluster cause this amber is friggin ugly. Does anyone know if the lights are colored bulbs in the dash or is a colored sheet across clear lights. Is the heater controls the same way? I don't want to change one set and still have that orange color on the heater controls. I don't think I want to change the faces yet though. Thanks guys.

Tranny comes out in 2 weeks for a rebuild(hopefully) no 2nd gear synchro.

try doing a search and see if it works. Try keywords : "HVAC" + "HondaHater21" + "LED"
that should give you enough info

the dash lights are not colored, but you cant replace them since they are a speical bulb thats tiny. The color on the gauges shines threw a clear pice of plastic that distributes the light. The part that gives the gauges there lovely glow is on the back of the gauges. If you where to take them apart and hold up the gauge overlays, you will see that they are orange. To get ride of it you just get some 230 grit sand paper and sand off the back, than hold it up to the light and you will see no orange. To change the color you can either color the back of the gauges with a sharpie or get a "gel" and place it behind the gauge. Or for a bright blue you will have to change all the bulbs with LEDs (7 leds)
for the HVAC light, go to my site and the instrutions are there

This also was the last form that has all the instrutions 2! http://www.2gnt.com/dcforum/DCForumID15/2992.html
