Hey 96TL, lemme ask u sumthin. U posted a pic of changing ur stock LEDs for some blue LEDs, right? What kind of bulbs did u use and where is my best bet to find them, cuz I went to a hook up shop around my way and they gave some bulbs and I installed them and they were no where as blue as your pics. Also they didn't have the little little bulbs that go for the climate control knob and other buttons. So whats up! Spill ur guts and tell me where I can get them and how much if anything?

thanks bro!

OK. This is NOT easy to explain but I'll try. I still havent found a way to change the climate control display or the clock YET. I will keep you posted. The bulbs that light up the cluster are just LED based 194/168 bulbs. You can get those from autolites.net or LEDtronics.com. (The LEDtronics ones are much better) There are 5 of those. You also have to change the bulbs on top of the cluster that light up the needles to LEDs. You can also change the blinker bulbs. The climate control and switches are hard to do. You have to modify the factory clip that holds the bulb to hold LEDs. Its pretty annoying to do. Do a search on LEDs posted by Nate for more info on this. BTW, use 1/4 watt 470 ohm resistors on all these LEDs. Dont forget, the wont fit directly. You have to modify the factory clip and solder a resistor in place. Nate's topics are very helpful.

Cluster:
5 194/168 based LEDs (Numbers)
2 5mm LEDs (Needles)
2 74 based LEDs (Blinkers)

Climate Control
4 5mm LEDs
2 3mm LEDs

Ashtray
1 74 based LED

Cig. Lighter
1 74 based LED

Shifter plate
You can use 1 74 based LED but it doesnt light up the hole thing. I modified a 74 based socket like the ones the blinker bulbs use and mounted a 5mm LED in there. It works much better but its up to you. If you get a 74 based LED all you have to do is plug it in.

Mirror switch
1 3mm LED

Dimmer switch
1 3mm LED

Cruise Control
2 3mm LEDs

Fog light switch
2 3mm LEDs

Sites for parts:
LEDtronics.com
3mm LEDs - Part No. L121CB1K-3.5Vf ($6.00 x8)
5mm LEDs - Part No. L201CB1K-3.5Vf ($8.00 x6 or x7)*
74 based LED - Part No. WF150-0PB-014V ($9.50 x4 or x5)*

*This depends on how you plan on doing the shift plate. You can use either LED but the 5mm needs to be modified.

Autolites.net
3 packs of 194/168 blue LEDs ($16.50 x 3) If you alreadt bought the 194/168 LEDs then use them. They're all the same, dim as hell. Thats why you have to replace the LEDs that light up the needles.

Good luck! I would order a few extra LEDs. I managed to blow 1 out by accident so be careful.

How do you remove all of the LEDs from their original position? I can't findanything about it in the manual...hmm, maybe Honda didn't think people would love this car enough to modify it, but I sure as hell do.
Any instruction or advice you can offer would be rgeatly appreciated...now off to order those bulbs.

Thanks dude!

There arent any LEDs in the factory buttons. They're just small bulbs. The LED slides right in but you have to solder a resistor behind it. Pain in the ass to do. Trust me.
