I like the Last pic. I wish they were not white when the indiglo was off. I would like them black or silver or something.

I don't think it worth the time to do it. The only one who did modification on the lights in the gauges i believe is nate. Do a search on led lights, you should be able to find it or ask nate (mod king)...

This may seem like a dumb question, but, won't that bother your eyes at night? It seems kinda bright :wow:

Thanks guys.

UW TL, I just zip-tied the inverter to a wire bundle under the dash and taped the switch to the metal brace behind the driver's side fuse panel.

VDo, buddy...

What's goin' on?


I'm the guy up in Detroit with the Euro-fogs on my Accord. I can't help but continue to thank you for helping me w/ that install.

Looks like you're still freakin' out your cars and stuff. I like the TL's but I think my next car is gonna be something German (bmw, mercedes, vdub.). I love Honda's but I just wanna try something new.

I know it's gonna cost grip to mod bimmmers and benzes though!!


Your reverse indiglos look sweeet! Seems like no matter what, you always go for the clean classy look for your cars.

Good job dude!

Hey Vdo, how did you change the colors where the mileage and temperature readings are?

I didn't do anything to the that lcd screen. My camera just decided to change the color of it on certain shots. I did, however, examined how they were lit (3 small lamps), and may do what Nate did to make them blue.

That looks nice!!!! I just got mine working as well. I put the inverter in the little hole right under lower-left screw of the gauge cluster. Fits nice and snug. My question is, where do you guys mount your buttons? I want it easily accessible but not noticeable. That would be easier if the entire ribbon cable and button didn't glow as well.

5mm LED's should work, but the problem is trying to find some with a wide enough lighting angle.
