Vtec LED

i was just wondering how many people did the Vtec LED indicator mod and if anyone had pics. I'm thinking of doing this mod and any opinions will be helpful.

Thanks

It's just a little hard to hear if you have radio cranked and all the windows closed.

i tried the vtec light mod on my 2000 and the directions are wrong. the wire with the green and yellow stripe isnt the correct one. i dont know which one it is. i doubt it would work on a 00+ or type S. anyone else have luck?

DAMN...you beat me to it! Like Desi stated...if you know your TL well enough, you'll know when VTEC hits.

acura tl, are the direction correct? i tried it and it didn't work cuz i had a bad led.
anyway i would appreciate it if you would let me know how to do it on a 2000 tl, if the directions are incorrect or what wire is correct.
thanks

I wonder if other car forums have this much hostility amongst their members?

i really think the instructions are good for all 99-03 TLs cuz asiankidd (the one who posted the instructions) has a 03 Type-S.... follow every step in the DYI section and it should work!
