This is a picture of my third brake light in the back, since i don't use it, cause of the tail. I plug it into my trunk, so when my trunk is open, it comes on.

I printed the ACURA on a Cd label sticker. And cut it out and stuck it on there. After I spray painted it. I WAS going to take off the sticker, but i decided to leave it on. Since the paint didn't stick to the edge, the lights goes right though it.

I have lights all over my car. LoL...blue neon under dash, trunk, and though the little hole in the back seat (where it folds down). Put a hole in my clear corner on the blinker side, so the whole thing lights up.

My dad always tell me to be careful, cause i have all those power wires runing around in the car.

Thankx guys. IT was very easy to put in. You just need to know how to take the gauge out. Which only contain 8 screws. Behind the gauge, there's 4 wedge type bulbs, and this little one. I changed out those 4 bulbs and took out that little one. The little one throws the color off, so i took it out.

I bought the LED bulbs from Autodynamic.com. they are wedge type bulbs. Cost me $20, for 4 bulbs since they were $10 per pair. THey have yellow, red, blue. I believe.

and CLUofI, yes i still could adjust the light, since i just changed the bulbs.

Well, to answer some of the questions.

Where does the little one go? Is it for the gear indicator?
That little bulb was near the 80mph area. If you look at the picture, you could tell (if you really look) that around 80mph area, it isn't as bright as the other areas.

but now you cant see the needles huh... i did that too ..
Well, i didn't take out those two little ones on TOP of the Cluster. I took out the one that's in the back where the 4 wedge type bulbs were. I tried what you did too, so only the # shows, but i can't see how fast i'm going or where my gas level is that night. SO i put them back in.

And yea, it doesn't match with the rest of the car. I want to change all the green out, but don't , know where i could find bulbs that small.

www.autodynamic.com

THey are the LED wedge type bulbs. You could buy them there for $10 a pair, and you need two sets. SO it's going to cost you $20.

so all you have to do to change the lighting behind the rest of the dash is to change the bulbs.....or are they clear bulbs shining through green....cuz it sure looks that way especially on the climate control
