So I searched everywhere and all I found was this on the forum:

http://www.acura-cl.com/forums/showt...ht=dash+lights

Is there a picture of this done to a CL? Anyone have it done in different colors? Thanks a bunch.

 

danman i think has done the blue led dash thingy but i think he sold it to nippon but i think you can buy the dash leds off nippon_wa, cause he is selling them

check out our black market for his post about selling everything and also you can try pm'ing him and ask him about it

 

YEPYEP.. true

 

yeap

I'm the one that did it

I replaced everything, took about 1.5 hrs

Thanks for the credit joey!

Well, I have LED's + resistors for sale. 6 3mm and 6 5mm + 12 resistors for $20 + shipping. (Shipping should be like $3 or something)

I have pics in my homepage I think....hahah....maybe I only have the clock

i'll host some pics of them done to a CL, but it's not my CL, but its exactly like it:

Here are pics

 

To do a complete blue conversion: You only replace LED's for the small things, like cruise, dimmer switch, climate control.

The gauges use 9LED bulbs, In my case, as well as the pictures guy, we used 906 bulbs (9 LED bulbs that fit into the 194/168 socket). Then the clock and the climate control display use blue screens to display that type of blue.

Nippon_WA has my blue LED conversion, and I believe he's selling it for pretty cheap. I think you'd be better off buying off him, since he's only asking $20 + swap or somehting. That's exactly how much I charged, so you'd be getting a pretty good deal. It took a lot of soldering skill to do it, since the bulbs are so small. I also made it so that there is a lot of electrical tape, so the wires will never touch and short-circuit the fuse that controls the interior lights or something.

 

nippon_wa you still sellin that conversion, or is it gone?

 

MYcarmensita asked me about the led conversion first..

so.. if he doesn't get it, it's your turn

i'll let you know

 

wow, that looks sick. I want to do that to mine.

 

I want them but i am gonna need help maybe danman or nippon can help me sort of a step by step or at least some tips and advice. Especially for my guages.

 

nippon don't think knows how to do them

I know that I'm one that has done it, I dunno who else did. I think one other person did. The design of the LED into the bulb socket is the hardest part. Soldering isn't that bad from there.

make sure you use the really thin wires...i think 28-gauge? its the only way tha bulb socket will go back onto the board of the device that your changing. The LED wires are too big, so I used half of the resistor's wires to fit in there. When you do that you will have extra wire sticking out of the back, so you have to bend them, and put electric tape around them so they don't touch anything.

 

So what about white I just want white where you have blue

 

unfortunately thats impossible

every piece in those have a greenish tint on the display, which is why it turns that color

a strong enough blue will overcome that color and display a blue.

I tried to do hyper white, which is why i also have hyper white LED's...and they didn't work well...

 

i changed my dome and door lights with polarg bulbs, hold on a sec lemme go outside and take some pics since I dont have any of them anyways

 

well heres some crude pics i took, sorry for the crappy quality but you get the idea and i didnt feel like breaking out the tripod and messing around with the ISO settings much.

 

dash lights = climate control, cruise button, light dimmer switch, gauges, etc

 

nice lights regardless

 

whoops sorry for some reason i thought dash=dome, i really need to get some sleep

 

damn, I really want a blue led dash..ive already changed my guages to blue. too bad danman's all the way up in seattle though

 

hmm.. yeah that looks pretty sweet, but I don't think it would look good in my car. I have the tan leather interior, so I don't hink it owuld fit too well, I also plan on painting hte exerior silver, but I'm not sure that would look too good withthe tan interior either. Any coments on how god/bad that might look?

 

primrose mist mettalic OwNz you ghost master charcoal int. w/ primrose ext. = perfect match

 

Iwant mine to be just white any way to make the dash lights all just white

 

i posted about white above

 

so can you change the light to just a white or can you not get the lights without the green

 

Basically any color could be put in right? Red would look PHAT!

 

And you know I meant dash not dome lights

 

well here's the thing

i've explained it above

there is a green filter sheet behind every button almost, so you need a strong solid color

white won't do it, it'll just come out green.

If you get a REALLY STRONG red, it'll come out

I dont think amber will work

blue i know works

i dunno how to get rid of the green, since it kinda is built in, instead of a sticker. you could try acetone, but i dunno

i heard of a 3.2 CL on this board using acetone on the gauges and removing the color to make white on the gauges, dunno though

 

thanks sorry to be so much trouble

 

DanMan1464, you have any pics of your climate control blue led conversion?
