INT: COMPLETE LED DASH - including all switches

[cp[mike]]

I wonder if there would be a way to mount some sort of lights on the roof, that are kinda hidden.....do they make amber LED's??? I may want to do this, I think it would look awesome. BTW good job on the writeup mike!

you could try mounting them in the bottom edge of the rearview mirror, or maybe the plastic piece where it hits the headliner.... or maybe angle mounted along the edge of the dome light... and yeah, they def do make amber LEDs. they make almost every color: http://www.lsdiodes.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index <-- btw this is the best site EVER... been dealing with them for a couple years now and love them. i recommend the standard 3 or 5mm LEDs, dont get the THC3 ones.

and thanks

Man, I really need to get on this...I still need to superglue my indicators back in place since the base of all the bulbs popped out...maybe I'll fix my gas gauge while I"m at it.

One of these days...

How do you remove the blue behind the climate control buttons?

Also, what size are those little bulbs?

use a tiny screwdriver and pop the button faces off from the front - it will break the bottom clips, but the faces still reattach or use a bit of superglue to get them back on. when in use, u cant see the broken clips. under the faceplates are the removable blue plastic filters.

and i dont know the name/number for the little bulbs, they arent sold anywhere other than the dealer. ive found, though, that you can fit a base and a 74 sized bulb in the two spots on the back of the climate control. going to amber, i assume?

I noticed that when I took my spare climate control apart that there are like 8 tiny bulbs that light up the small indicators on top of the buttons....two of them appear to be yellow in color, I wonder if the dealer would be able to get the other 6 of these, and I could replace them for the white ones...im going amber, and im almost done....oh btw the jdm cc is green too isn't it? Would it be an easy task to convert it to amber as well? It would be awesome if someone could do a write up on this conversion as well....maybe ill give it a try...

you should give my DIY a read - the indicators above the buttons are 5mm LEDs, they can be swapped out for any regular LED, including amber. these indicators have no filters in the way.

the diagrams on each button face are lit up by two small bulbs, if you remove all the filters and replace the two bulbs with amber 74 bulbs, it should make it light up amber.

so i take it sharpieing everything.....would be bad?

[texasvtak]

When removing the temp and AC knobs...was anybody elses translucent part shit brown?

[texasvtak]

And how can you tell a blown LED from a good one?

[501accord]

leds can blow? wtf

[texasvtak]

leds can blow? wtf

Thats what the resistors are for

[cp[mike]]

greatly overpower an LED and it audibly sizzles and turns brown and stinks

slightly overpower an LED and it slowly starts to flicker and dim out then eventually dies, but doesnt look any different.

way to tell if it is blown: hook it up to 3 volts

what to do if youre getting blown LEDs in your conversions: use higher rated resistors, thats why i used 560ohm's... enough to keep em safe, but not too much to dim them out. gotta remember to use 14v as the power source when doing automotive electrical calculations instead of 12v.

I figured out that the reason the light behind the pictures in the cc wasnt coming on was because the dimmer knob wasnt plugged in..stupid Honda.

Oh and I used 560ohm resistors too. Ill take pics when its ALL done. Right now I have a few more LEDS to wire.

Hope you used wedge LEDs sir. I used regular ones and it came out really nice, but wedge LEDs would make it mint.

Hm? I think I used regular...
